Raspberry PI has video

I bought a webcam in order to extend my RPi capabilities.

The longterm plan is to have a Skype running on it also with video.

Skype doesn’t run on RPi … yet.

But maybe I am able to use something different.

 

This is how I did it:

1. Buy the Logitech C270 USB HD Webcam from Amazon.de.

 

2. install the software and add the kernel module

sudo apt-get install guvcview -y

sudo modprobe uvcvideo

sudo echo uvcvideo >> /etc/modules

3. Start X and the video software

startx

Start -> Sound and Video

Choose guvcview

 

You have video 🙂

In my experience I have been able to choose 30 fps without problems.

The video is stable and fast…

 

 

Now I have only to figure out how to make video calls.

 

Enjoy!
