Re: [Linphone-developers] Use a Network camera in linphone

[Francois-Xavier KOWALSKI]

Hello,

[I usually never answer direct requests: you are supposed to stick on 
the mailing-list]

Linphone only works with camera that are visible to the local system via 
the video4linux API.

A webcam is a mis-leading word for a local device , that usually is 
connected via a USB port. An IP camera is connected via IP. Unless you 
have a trampoline video4linux driver on your host that makes your IP 
camera appear as a local device, you IP camera will not work under Linphone.
