Introduction

Webcamd is a small daemon that enables about 1500 different USB based webcam, DVB and remote control USB devices under the FreeBSD operating system. The webcam daemon is basically an application which is a port of Linux USB drivers into userspace on FreeBSD. The daemon currently depends on libc, pthreads, libusb and libcuse.

Licensing

Webcamd is GPLv2 licensed due to the external Linux part which is GPLv2, though some files inside the webcamd remains BSD licensed which allows for building similar BSD licensed daemons.

Testing a USB webcam device

Support
