uvcvideo is a kernel driver module meant to support any UVC compliant device. This Linux UVC device driver was included in the kernel as of 2.6.26.
Taken collectively, these are known as UVC Webcam Devices.
- The uvcvideo driver is V4L2-only. This means applications which support V4L1 only will not work. V4L1 is officially deprecated, and have been removed from the kernel recently, so most drivers have or will switch to V4L2 anyway.
