I've had the opportunity to play with several webcams:
Kensington VideoCam
Ezonics EZcam
IBM PC Camera
Logictech QuickCam Web
Out of these four, the Ezonics is definitely my favorite (I've owned the
Kensington, Ezonics, and IBM. My brother has the Logictech.)
The Ezonics has much better picture quality and is much less jerky (better
frame rates) than the other 3 cameras.
I've used all four of the above cameras in Windows.
The Ezonics is the only one that I've used in Linux.
The quality of the picture from my Ezonics is better in Windows that it is
under Linux. I assumed this was probably due to the Linux driver or the
gqcam software. The gqcam software is the only software I've tried with it
under Linux.
What sort of info have you found out about setting up a webpage with a live
feed from your Ezonics?
I'd like to do this, too, but haven't done much research on it, yet.

Hey, I'm wondering how configurable the camera is.
Like, right now my EZonics EZcam has some pretty poor quality with gqcam-0.9
and I'm hoping to improve upon it.
Anyone who has a EZonics, is it the EZonics poor quality?
I would like to set up the cam to output to a webpage and have it like a
JavaApplet or script or somthing, so that I can check on the house while I'm
gone and see movement, not just stills.
Like the way those 'live feeds' on porn sites are, heh. But, mine will be
for personal security :-)
