The uvideo driver supports a range of USB Video Class (UVC) devices including webcams, camcorders and other cameras. UVC is a generic specification and many USB video devices follow it. The following models are known to work:

If the uvideo device attaches successfully, it will attach the video(4) driver to provide higher-level access.

The driver needs a set of firmware for some devices which are loaded when a device gets attached:
