USB Webcam support package

[j_gry2003]

Many thanks for the second installment of the intel version, I was just about to come on here to say that I couldnt get the original working.

However, I think I may have a too old a webcam to work as I get this message

Error opening device. Webcam not connected or does not support video USB class?

When opening the webcam application and it says disconnected in the station.

For in formation the webcam, which shows in USB devices as USB Audio is a Lifecam Vx-3000 - Microsoft Corp

Am I needing to invest in a new webcam?

[JustJackLDN]

Is Lifecam Vx-3000 camera UVC compatible?
As far as I did just research apparently it complies to all standards but UVC.
It appear that camera might be just too old.
Let me double check it, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Meanwhile you can do your research about UVC standard compliance.
Cheers

Thanks for your assistance, after doing bit of googling, it seems as though that webcam isnt UVC compatible.

I think I will buy a new webcam and see how that goes.

Just make sure the new one is UVC compatible. There is plenty of them even cheap ones around £7 should do. Then-after you can go for more advanced one if you wish.

Before doing so, just to double check, uninstall webcam spk, restart Synology, KEEP WEBCAM CONNECTED TO THE BOX ALL THE TIME, after that install webcam spk once again and then try.

It works, and doesn't work at the same time

I have a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000, which is reported by other users as working.
And it works.. but I have to re-plug it every time to get it working again.
Via the webcam test app, I always get the errors below, mostly in the order 1, 4, but sometimes 1, 2, 4 or 1, 3, 4, but no matter what, I'm always ending up with error 4.

1) Timeout receiving data from webcam
2) VIDIOC_STREAMON error 5, Input/output error
3) Webcam already in use? error 16, Device or resource busy (Not sure If I had the cam also in Surveillance Station, I believe I didn't add it yet!)
4) Error setting video format. Webcam does not support hardware MJPEG compression? error 5, Input/output error

The strangest thing, after error #1, and refreshing the webcam.cgi, I see a (pixelated) preview in the correct resolution (Although not the highest possible), and after reloading webcam.cgi, I got a nice webcam image. But this happened only 2/3 times so far, normally I get error #4 directly after #1 or after the pixelated preview.

dmesg output:
[377466.450000] usb 1-1.2: USB disconnect, address 9
[377471.550000] usb 1-1.2: new high speed USB device using orion-ehci and address 10
[377471.790000] usb 1-1.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[377471.810000] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USBDevice (046d:0990)
After error #4:
[377611.550000] uvcvideo: Failed to query (129) UVC probe control : -110 (exp. 26).
Another reload:
[377656.310000] uvcvideo: Failed to set UVC probe control : -110 (exp. 26).

Synology DS209
DSM 4.0-2228
System Information shows the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 as USB device.

Any ideas what is wrong?

It looks like this uvc driver included in the package doesn't support your webcam

[ferdinandus]

Hi,

I can confirm that HERCULES DUALPIX EXCHANGE - GUILLEMOT CORP. webcam works right.

However an old LABTEC webcam does not.

Greetings

That would make sense if it didn't work at all, and wasn't reported working by others, and wasn't on the UVC "supported" list. Plus it is recognized as UVC device: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USBDevice. So I assume that the driver is fine.

But since I get an image from my webcam, it is working somewhat. Except it stops working almost instantly
Haven't tried rebooting yet, can try that tonight. Maybe that it helps.

[j_gry2003]

After purchasing a new cam, I have got it working (well 95%)!

A strange quirk though. I have it on motion detection and this records as you would hope and quality is good.

On the webcam list page, the thumbnail shows a picture of the room, on my iPhone, DScam shows a live picture of the room.

However, all I get on the Line View on my internet browser is a black screen, any ideas?

[j_gry2003]

Found the problem.

Line View was set from Camera not from surveillance station.....all sorted now

Works perfectly

Hi everyone,
at the begining I'd like to thanks for usb-package, it works great with my webcam (C910).

I have question about resolution photos, is it possible to change resolution of pictures? Now its have 2592×1944px it's to big for me.
Could you tell me how to set up lower resolution?

[NeoID]

Would love to see support for DS410!

I am afraid the installation package would have been compiled once again from scratch.
Do you use DS212+? If so, I am not able to help you. Sorry

The Intel package supports now all three architectures of the Intel processors: x86, Bromolow and Cedarview.

DSM 4.0

DSM 4.1

For anyone experiencing problems with webcam package after upgrading to the newest DSM 4.1-2661 there is another revision of the very same package, so just in case:
