uvcc
output examples
A small sample of uvcc
camera control output. See individual subdirectories for specific cameras. Note that cameras with the same “marketing name” may have several USB hardware implementations with different vendor/product ids, so there may be more than one subdirectory.
How to add or update the output from your camera
- Open the terminal.
- Create and/or enter the correct camera product marketing name subdirectory.
- The “marketing name” is the product name (usually including a short codename) you would see on the box when you buy a camera.
- Use kebab-case naming, with vendor name and product code/name.
- Do not use the full “marketing name”, such as “Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920”.
- Correct examples:
logitech-c920
fromLogitech HD Pro Webcam C920
(name
inuvcc devices
).logitech-c922
from the vendor name andC922 Pro Stream Webcam
(name
inuvcc devices
).microsoft-1425
from the vendor name and the model number1425
found on the label on the camera cable as well as the box the camera was delivered in.
- Create and/or enter the correct vendor/product id subdirectory.
- This is due to cameras with the same “marketing name” having different USB product ids, and this possibly having different hardware properties.
- Use the format
<vendor id>-<product id>
with decimal number formatting, without leading zero padding. - You can find the USB
vendor
andproduct
ids in the output ofuvcc devices
. - Correct examples:
- Reset the camera to default values.
- Unplug all cameras.
- Reconnect only the camera you want to test.
- This done to get “fresh” (hopefully default) values for
uvcc export
.
- Run
../../update-example.sh
- Verify that the
*.json
files were created/updated. - Commit your changes and submit a pull request.
Is it not working?
Not all cameras are UVC-compatible. If you can confirm that your camera model supports UVC, perhaps uvcc
needs some fixes to support it.
- Report the issue with as much detail as you can.
- Fix the source code directly, since it is much easier debugging with access to the camera itself.
