Their webcams are compatible with UVC and work perfectly in Linux, with no need for any special drivers. If you have no luck getting your webcam to work with guvcview - perhaps consider selling your webcam and try to get one made by a company that does support UVC. It seems like common sense to me - but there we go! Using standard protocols allows their devices to have greater interoperability on other platforms, completely out of the box - it seems strange that some tech companies still do just not do this. That said - in order to support Linux - webcam manufacturers only need to set up their camera hardware to support UVC which is a standard protocol. So you could try pestering Quantum to provide a Linux driver for your webcam. Manuy still will not consider developing Linux drivers, unless enough of their customers demand them. And instead, implement their own protocols - which requires them to provide drivers for their devices.Īnd typically, companies who operate like this will only provide drivers for Windows and sometimes Mac, if you're lucky. But there are a surprising number of tech companies - particularly the less-known, or cheaper, low-end brands, who do not use, or implement support for common, established protocols/standards (Like UVC) on their devices. I've never heard of Quantum before - so I have no idea about them as a company, or the quality of their products. However - Getting a Linux driver from Quantum might be another story altogether!
If it does work with guvcview - then problem solved -once you have it working with guvcview, then cheese should be able to detect it too.īut if it doesn't work with guvcview - then it definitely does not support UVC and will require a dedicated Linux driver from the manufacturer. You can find and install it using your distros package management tools (apt, aptitude, software centre, dnf, yum, pacman etc etc.) Guvcview should be in the repos of all Linux distributions. If your webcam does NOT work in Cheese - then it means that your webcam probably does not support UVC and may require a dedicated Linux driver from the manufacturer.Īnother thing you could try is to install guvcview and try that with your camera. Allowing them to be used on pretty much any modern platform without special drivers. UVC is a common, standard protocol that should be implemented/supported by all modern webcams. Webcams that are compatible with the UVC (USB Video Class) protocol will work out of the box in Linux.
