1. Does /dev/video exist?
2. Is it a symlink to a real /dev/ device file? If so, which one?
3. Do you have the camera plugged in?
4. Do you have the philips webcam driver loaded?

If /proc/bus/usb is mounted, you can look in /proc/bus/usb/devices
for devices that are currently recognized as USB devices (may or
may not have a driver). To mount /proc/bus/usb, enter
mount -t usbdevfs usb /proc/bus/usb
This requires that USB support be built with the usbdevfs option
enabled (Yes).
> What can be the cause of this non-detection?
Any of numbers 1-4 above.
