[Zigster]

Hi folks,

I've just been searching the net, trying to get the above camera working with my wl500gp with Oleg's FW.

Can anyone plz give me a hint on how to install spca5xx (LE ?) on it ?

Installing ipkg install wget http://weimarnetz.de/ipkg/packages/s...m_1_mipsel.ipk

fails due to kmod-videodev and libpthread are missing... where can I get it ?

Thanx for a hint and/or tutorial :-)

Thx

Zigster

Wl-500gp V1, newest Oleg firmware

[cma353]

Dear all,

I have enable the WebCam to be accessed by WAN, my boardband upload speed is 128Kbps (about 14K/s) , whenever it takes me 9 seconds to refresh the image of video. Anyway, I have tried to capture the image from the video, it is a 225Kb bitmap file (If I save the bitmap file to jpg, it becames 47Kb file only). Anybody know that if the video have any compression in the transmittion process from Lan to Wan? Or any way to tune up the speed of video's refresh rate?

The error appear like 1 per second, this way my log growing to 10M in two days ...
Any help here ?

LE : is normal to have two decompression modules registered ? (ov511_decomp.c v 1.3 and v 1.6)

buffer overrun... I guess there is no protection in it.
the problem is, when this happens, you're webcam might be a bit broken.
the sky high cpu useage can be because of the webcam monitor.
has dcam a high usage?
I use a limiter for the max fps it captures, to make sure it doesnt get too high

[darius]

Me too.
Months of searching for webcam and no success.
At Internet auction sites a lot of new, old webcams.
Nobody knows board code name.

Just for tests, pls name and give web link to working webcam from ebay
or another place.

The "rcamd" in fact raise cpu to 100% and keep there until i disconnect the camera.
All i get in logs is the buffer error ...
The image from camera is ok, with no artefacts.
I dont know if is normal, the 100% use of cpu is if camera is accessed or not, when i plug the cam, no matter wich settings/resolution i use ...
I use 2 sec refresh time .

This webcam still available on ebay works for sure:

http://cgi.ebay.at/Webcam-Philips-To...QQcmdZViewItem

I have also successfully in operation:

PCVC680K
PCVC840K

[poiu]

Nobody have an ideea ?
Cam is a PCVC680K.

[dyonisos]

Hi,
Use pwc driver that comes with the Asus. Ov51x or spca5xx driver will NOT work with PCVC680K. Cheers.
