Live USB camera

Information

Use any USB webcam that is supported by Linux.

Warning

You can only have one live streaming webcam. So when you add this type of webcam you cannot add another of this type. Also this will eliminate the use of the RPI live webcam as that is using the same hardware chip on the Raspberry PI.

Controls

As this is a Video4Linux device, you can use v4l2-ctl tools to control the focus, white balance and other options. This is not possible with the TerrariumPI software. A good website with more information and how to use it.
