The mirror is intended to allow it to look sideways, but it makes it

None of the suggestions would produce an image at all, which seems odd,
what I did find which worked was a package called VimicroCam. Rather
heavyweight package at 5.3Mb, but at least you can fill the screen with
the image.

All I wanted to do, was inspect the hidden valley gutter between my
garage and workshop for obstructions. It over flowed when the snow
melted from the roofs recently.


Glad you found something which worked. Many of them seem to be
"webcams", mine will run on Ubuntu (but I usually use the supplied
software on windows machines). I've never had much joy with mirror
attachments.
