Assuming you mean the USB ones, they're basically a small USB
webcam-onna-stick. I've only used them under Windows, but they should
support the usual USB webcam stuff under Linux - but it might be pot luck
that you get a proprietary one.

Yes, usb I'm looking at. It puzzles me that none of them seem to be UVC, which works with pretty much everything I gather.
