The ownbrand Â£5 webcam I purchased in Asda worked flawlessly with Zoneminder - this my first outing into the application too.

Here is what I had for it:

Any more information on this camera would be great, Does it have a model #?
dmesg |grep bttv would be useful maybe as well.
What resolutions do you get from this? Looks like it may not go very high.

Sorry - only just spotted this. It has *no* other information on it. It's plain black and just sold as 'ASDA WEBCAM'.

I pulled it off the system because it was a little dull and I have a couple of the BT878 cards working now (thanks to you

).
