======Notes on firewire cameras and Linux======

The official lirec camera is:

  * [[http://www.theimagingsource.com/|Imaging Source]] DFK 31AF03-Z

===Howto===

  * After plugging the camera in, you may need to do:

<code>
modprobe raw1394
modprobe video1394
chmod 777 /dev/raw1394
chmod 777 /dev/video1394
</code>

  * Use [[http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/coriander/|Coriander]] to test the camera

To get an image you have to press the buttons in the following order:

  - In the services tab click 'Receive' at the top
  - Then in the ISO Control box in the same tab, click 'Start'
  - Click 'Display' at the top 

To test OpenCV, install libunicap from [[http://unicap-imaging.org]], then rebuild opencv by rerunning:
<code>./configure --use-unicap=yes</code>
The examples in libunicap are very useful for debugging, such as device_info, raw_image and sdl_display. There is also an OpenCV example here.
