WL-HDD 2.5....
Or do you mean the webcam? I haven't currently made my mind up on that score because I've had trouble with creative webcams and linux. I was thinking a USB Quickcam.

WL-HDD 2.5....
Or do you mean the webcam? I haven't currently made my mind up on that score because I've had trouble with creative webcams and linux. I was thinking a USB Quickcam.
WL-HDD is ABLE to support webcam, but does not do this with official firmware, neither with firmware from Jockey
Custom Firmwares from Oleg for the WL-HDD do support webcam, list of supported cams/bugs etc is the same as WL500g has
but this is not recommended because of high cpu initialization, which will make you WL-HDD slower than it already is
I'd love to be able to set it up my wl-hdd with webcam attached in the babies room and monitor the baby from my pocket pc. However, I don't have any programming experience or familiarity with linux. I can handle flashing the customized ROM that supports webcams. Is it straightforward beyond this without additional knowledge of linux? Is there a tutorial somewhere that I may have missed on getting a webcam to work with the wl-hdd?
Thanks.
I used a OV511 chipset WEBCAM, it worked very well:rolleyes:

can someone tell me how to set up a webcam on the WL-HDD or point me in the direction of an how to... anywhere please?
I've never seen a How-To for adding a webcam.
If you go to the WL500g section and look at compatible hardware, you should be able to find a webcam that works. It's then just a case of plugging it in and using the web interface to set up how you want it to work.
I think that's about as much as the WL-HDD can do.
Is this part of your project to add a 3.5 HDD and a different power supply?
