Webcam for Server2003?

[Zoblefu]

Does anyone know of a webcam that is supported / works in Windows Server 2003? On the Logitech site they say that they do not support 2003 and do not intend to.

Does anyone have any experiance with a webcam in windows server 2003?

I'm looking for one to so some video conferencing with work.

Thanks!

Just so I understand, you want to hook up a webcam to your server, and not one of the workstations on your network?

Yes -- my "workstation" is running windows server 2003 because that is the target operating system of the applications I develop.

I wonder if the USB camera would be recognized by W2K3, even though it's not "supported" by the manufacturer. I have an old Philips web cam that I use every now and then that isn't supported under XP, but is recognized by the OS and works just fine. Might be worth testing if you have a friend who will lend you his/her webcam.

I've tried 2 different logitech webcams and they don't work. I was wondering if anyone has tried any brand/model that does work?

Doubtful. Server OS'es generally don't have support for extra gadgets and stuff.

I have had the quick cam "orbit" running on a 2k3 server box. It is a bit of a pain to get set up, but it does work.
