This ancient camera still works, thanks to the open-source drivers for Linux. It came about before the standard USB camera device class, so requires specific drivers.
Notes:
- Resolution: 640x480
- Don't even try to use this device unless it is the only USB device on the hub. It will break the use of any other USB device on the same hub.
- So low quality, so it is best used as a simple motion detector these days, lol.
