Replying to [comment:1 pulkomandy]:
Are you sure it is useful to have each of these in a separate ticket? Do
you own the hardware to test them? Are there programming specifications?
Or are these standard UVC webcams, which is the standard way to do webcams
for USB and what we should focus on? (a single driver to rule them all).
As these tickets are for [
http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-
ons/media/media-add-ons/usb_webcam/addons controller chipsets] families
and not individual camera devices, mixing them all into one ticket would
be confusing, and that is before adding information about the different
chips versions and the different sensors that they use.
While I have a few of them, we either don't yet have a driver for them or
their sub-driver is currently broken and not building. Some of the chips
have an easy to find datasheets, while others will require us to borrow
some GPL code from the Linux driver to ever hope of getting it running.
None of these are UVC compliant chipsets (apart a few chips had compliant
revisions made), all UVC compliant devices should be covered under the
[
http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/media/media-add-
ons/usb_webcam/addons/uvc UVCCam sub-driver], which is
[
http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices missing a large number] of
device IDs.
