Re: [newbie] Webcam Advice!
Hi Ricardo, First of all, welcome to webcam hell. I'm kidding - but the biggest problem you will have is with hardware. Mandrake has a compatability page listing various hardware. http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/hardware.php3 Then, if you decide to go with gnome meeting, you will need to install video4linux at the backend. The webcam I have is not compatible and I couldn't be bothered getting another so I fell at the first hurdle - but I imagine if you get a compatible camera you'll be fine.

RE: [newbie] Webcam Advice!
Hi, I have a Logitech quickcam pro. I spent a fair bit of time and effort trying to get it to work on Mandrake 10.0, and failed miserably... Mandrake 10.1 auto detected it, installed Gnome meeting, and it all just happened! Checking the Hardware compatibility list sounds like a good idea...

[newbie] webcam recommendations needed
Hi. Yesterday i started working at a small business that is interested in using PC's with webcams as security cameras .. you know, to monitor customers, that kind of thing. The idea is that the PC should be running Linux. I have zero experience with webcams, and from what i've read, performance and resolution can be real problems as drivers vary in quality. So, is there any brand or model that could be useful for this (resolution should be good enough to make it possible to recognize a face standing at about 3 or 4 meters from the camera) under Linux?

Thanks Damian Hi Damian - I'm using a Logitech Pro 3000 (Quickcam) that works pretty good under Linux/Mandrake. I'm not sure if its still made though. I'll send you a snapshot taken with it using Camstream - its not 9 - 12 feet, (more like 3) but it should give you an idea of the quality. -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I am using the el-cheapo camera that came with the HP-pavilion and it works fine a better camera say in the 30 to 50 $4 range should be awesome.

Logitech 3000 Pro or 4000 Pro works easily with the built in pwc module. Picture quality is very nice. Lots of helpful information here: http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ The above site covers Philips plus the various other cams that use the pwc module.

[newbie] Webcam won't connect to remote host.
Hello again, and thanks go out to Nikunj for the help yesterday. So, I got the whole thing installed now, and now I get all new fun. I'm trying to get webcam to connect to a remote host via SSH and I believe I have the config set up right, but it gives me a broken pipe error every time I try to connect. Here's what I get when I flag the config for debug mode: excess crap deleted ssh config [ftp]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@namegoeshere.com:/directory/stuff what.jpg = image.jpg webcam 2002-12-13 23:27:20 ssh: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Name or service not known Broken pipe For even more fun, I decided to try this in FTP mode, here are my results: [ftp] ftp [ftp] pass [ftp] pass [ftp] Passive mode off. [ftp] ftp [ftp] close [ftp] close [ftp] Not connected. ftp: lost connection [ftp] ftp [ftp] open ftp.namegoeshere.com [ftp] open ftp.namegoeshere.com [ftp] Connected to ftp.namegoeshere.com [ftp] 220 ProFTPD FTP Server ready [ftp] 500 AUTH not understood.

[ftp] KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type [ftp] ftp ftp: connect failed, sleeping 5 sec Basically just scrolls that. with increments of sleep time going up each time. When I try to connect via SSH or FTP from the command line I don't have any problems. What did I screw up this time? TIA Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

When I try to connect via SSH or FTP from the command line I don't have any problem I don't know how this fits into the picture, but I had a similar experience with webcam. There was a time when it would ftp with no problem. Then for no apparent reason it began doing what you describe above. Ultimately what I did was have webcam save the images to a local file, and I had cron run a script that would upload the file using ncftp. Why this was necessary I never figured out, but it worked quite well. Nowadays I use camstream to capture and upload my webcam shots, and I am very happy with it. *** Powered by SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional KDE 3.0.0 KMail 1.4 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.

[newbie] webcam
i am the proud new owner of one silly little earthlink webcam. was wondering if anyone knows a good proggie or likewise way to set up this little beast. p.s. it's a serial port model (a la printer port)...not PS/2! damn. :) -- +- + Jeffrey M.

Re: [newbie] webcam
Well, if it has the Cpia chipset or a clone of the OLD logitech quickcam, it is supported by the kernel and there are many progs. You might also try the v4l2 people, as they might be working on it if its not one those chipsets. I tried searching for the webcam, but can't seem to be able to get info on it. Can you send more specs on it? I will be happy to give you all the different links for the webcam projects and programs if you want. On Mon, 7 May 2001, Jeffrey M.
