Being new to Linux, how do I go about adding a webcam to my Rpi?
In my spares box, I have a pair of Webcams which I hope to use, with the aim of creating an Nocturnal Animal cameras.
I plugged one into the Rpi, and lsusb reports it as 0C45:602a, which is described as a Meade ETX-105EC Camera. Am I correct in assuming this information came from the Camera itself, and not from the Rpi itself, because Rpi knows about this device
The question is, where do I go now?
Do I need a Driver, if so is one available, and how do I go about installing it?
If I can get it working, what software do I need to view the output (preferably GUI rather than CLI)?

Re: Webcam setup help required.
