Can't access external Kandao Ooocom camera via USB

I have a Kandao Qoocom camera and I can stream with it with Windows and Mac, but I wanted to connect to Ubuntu and the camera is not recognized.

Using lsusb command:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 13d3:56a6 IMC Networks 
Bus 001 Device 029: ID 2aad:6503  
Bus 001 Device 027: ID 046d:c534 Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:b023 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045e:07f8 Microsoft Corp. Wired Keyboard 600 (model 1576)
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I can see that the camera is the device 029 which has an empty description

And with usb-devices I get:

I:  If#= 5 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=0e(video) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=uvcvideo

Is there any way I can mount this USB so I can access the camera?

Thanks in advance.


Solution 1:

Well, assuming that the camera is UVC-compliant, you should be able to use guvcview.

You can install guvcview with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install guvcview
