USB Webcam and Motion add-on

Video drivers has been tested on arm ReadyNAS with RAIDiator 4.1.10
UVCVideo is the magic behind it all, and will install a range of drivers that will hopefully recognise your webcam. I have allowed for up to two webcams to be connected (/dev/video0 & /dev/video1). Note however, that USB video processing is processor-hungry, so don't expect lightning performance! If you have any issues with camera detection, try stopping and starting the UVCVideo resource.
Motion is a fantastic program that is highly configurable, and can be tailored to suit most requirements. It can act as a simple snapshot system for a webpage; a video surveillance system; a time-lapse capture system; and much more. It uses ffmpeg (0.4.8) to create videos, and I have included mysql support.
When you install motion, a /c/media/motion folder will be created and three files will be placed into the folder: a simple motion.conf to allow motion to start-up; a distribution version, motion-dist.conf; and a text version of the unix man-page.
If you choose a different folder, and that folder does not contain an existing motion.conf file, un-modified versions of these three files will be placed there (an existing motion.conf file will not be over-written). Only the motion.conf file is required for motion to run.
The sample motion.conf file instructs motion to do three things: create a mini http webserver accessible via port 8085; capture any movement detected as an avi file, and store this movie along with a jpeg preview of the avi file, in an "images" folder.
You will need to modify motion.conf to suit your requirements. Please read the manual and web resources for more information.

- Happy Christmas.
I have not built an add-in as there does not seem to be much interest. - oh, guess it's just me then. damn, would have liked this.
- I will look at creating a bin just for you then :)
You'll have to wait a bit though. Watch this thread.
Geoff. - Hello!
I hope you can publish a build with the uvc drivers soon. I ordered an Logitech Quick Cam Messenger from a supplier and got an C200 :? !
The C200 is in the list of supported webcams for the uvc-drivers so I'm hoping that you can make a nice build like the GSPCA-build.
Will use my paypal account again....soon I hope. :)

This looks cool. Was there a bin created or not for this?
//Lasse- Hi again
My camera logitech 9000 is in the newer driver but not in yours. Did u ever get around to test the newer ones?
//Lasse - Anybody seen Geoff?
//Lasse - Im also interested in an x86 add-on for my NVX... any news on this? Would be great to see Geoff share the code with someone able to make an x86 version of it.
- Definately of interest from me. Think this would be great,
Scott - I hope that geoff soon will post his new uvc driver.
I have tried a little by my self. I'm a neewbie to linux and came this far..
Following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UVC
I have managed to get to the make.. when i type make this come up:-------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------
The USB Video Class driver has moved to http://linuxtv.org/.
Using the Berlios SVN repository is now deprecated.
Please check http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ for download instructions.
If you really want to compile this historical version, run 'make uvcvideo'.

When I try make uvcvideo this come up:Building USB Video Class driver...
