It's typical for standards-compliant hardware to work well on
Linux, Windows and Mac OS without issue. When it doesn't, it's
probably not standards-compliant.
StarTech has a reasonable reputation for both honesty and
compatibility: if they thought that a given device could work
without a specialized driver (in this case, UVC standards
compliance), then they would claim it on the package and in the
manual.
Since they don't, I expect this device does not support UVC.
