Out of the box, no mods required: Philips Vesta Pro SC has the best image quality I've seen so far but some idiosyncracies with frame rate and image size. Still excellent. D-Link DSB-300 works pretty well, but has *NO* low-light capabilities. It claims 10 lux, and appears to mean it. The DLink DSB-100 is not possessing of very good image or color characteristics, but will work with the ov511 driver (as does the DSB-300) out of the box. -- Gerry Creager -- gerry@xxxxxxxxxxx Network Engineering Academy for Advanced Telecommunications and Learning Technologies Texas A&M University 979.458.4020 (Phone) -- 979.847.8578 (Fax)
