    V4L/DVB (5461): Pwc: cisco VT Camera support · a63e157f
    Jean Tourrilhes authored
    I have a Cisco VT Camera, and it was just collecting dust.  I decided to
    try connecting it to my Linux box at home.
    
    Just a disgression about the product.  The Cisco VT Camera is a webcam
    Cisco sold to work with their IP phone hardware and software.  It's mostly
    useless on Windows, as it interfaces only to Cisco software.  You can find
    some for cheap on eBay...
    
    Physically, it's just a Logitech Pro 4000.  The only difference with the
    Pro 4000 is the Cisco logo and that it's grey like the Pro 3000.  I believe
    Cisco is now selling the Cisco VT Camera II, which look to be something
    else...
    
    So, assuming that it was a Pro 4000 inside, I created the little patch
    attached.
    
    I'm new to webcam under Linux, but I managed to get an image from it using
    xawtv, and the image looked all right, so I consider that a success.  The
    imaged seemed a bit small and I could not get the microphone driver loaded,
    but I assume it's my lack of experience.  Note that I did not try any other
    type_id, but this one works great.
