A few months ago I bought a Pyle surveilance-type camera. Supposed to
be controllable by wireless from the computer. When I got it, I discovered
it only has drivers for Windows. I don't think there is any software for it for
Linux, free or otherwise.
(If anybody know of such, please let me know! I am not averse to paying
for it, if it is reasonable.)
