Events FAD: Need another fw/mini-dv system?

[Andrew Ross]

Hi All,

For what it's worth, I have had great success with Logitech Orbit AF web
cams with Freeseer and other software. It produces a great picture.

I haven't put time to get the software driven pan, tilt, and zoom working
under Linux yet but I expect it is feasible with enough elbow grease and
thus making the cam even more useful.

Thus, this makes for a very affordable usb camera solution. Also works well
with a 10ft USB extension cable offering more flexibility for camera
placement.
