UVC means USB Video Class. The Video For Linux 2 driver system should recognize it as a V4L2 device. fswebcam is a package that captures images from V4L2 devices. It's command-line driven and has a few useful features like resizing, averaging multiple frames, and skipping early frames for devices that take a while to focus. It writes JPEG or PNG. Remember to make yourself part of the video group. -dsr-
