USB Webcams

Even if not optimized for data transfer performances, USB Webcams are (mostly) cheap and can be a good starting point for video acquisition/processing.

This page will summarize the validated models and link to their respective documentation.

For performances, we recommend to use the CSI interface of the i.MX processors or the FPGA (example).
