I wonder if there is some way to have the camera USB

Can VLC do this? Does the Pi have enough horsepower?
Hey Steve,
A few weeks ago I mentioned mjpg-streamer in a thread called "ATTENTION
-- MUST READ":
If the camera is
recognized as a UVC device, we'll want to use this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpg-streamer/
Using mjpg-streamer we can stream the image to a zoneminder server
(perhaps living on space.sudo) and configure it however we like.
I suggest using this, but I had some trouble with various webcams
working with the raspi. There was some distortion with some of the
webcams we tested, and others had no image at all.
