I have been using Raspberry PI's around my place to setup security and webcam streaming. One place I would like to monitor is close to my B3. However I discovered that the kernel on the B3 does not have the modules loaded to support USB video cameras.
Anyone solved this ?
Ironically the RPi's are so temperamental and seem to crash if you look at them the wrong way.... My B3 is just so stable, year after year....
EDIT: I asked the exact same question in 2007 http://forum.excito.com/viewtopic.php?f ... p=651#p651 Doesn't time fly...
B3 as a security camera streamer ?
Re: B3 as a security camera streamer ?
I can build a kernel with video modules that you could test. If that's successful I'll push to to the official repo. Let me know !
Re: B3 as a security camera streamer ?
Thanks ! But I will try to build my own. I am just tinkering and this is a good way to learn
Re: B3 as a security camera streamer ?
I'm trying to actually find a way to get my webcam to work, but without success so far: it gets listed in lsusb, I installed v4l and i2c, but I get no /dev/video0, so no program works (e.g. motion, cheese, etc) since they just can't see the webcam.
I could not find any package for gspca-source, nor qc-usb-source, despite the fact that I have main/contrib/non-free in my sources.list
Anybody has some clues about what can be done here?
