I'm looking to buy one for diy use. They're as cheap as £3.54 on amazon but will they work with a computer here? They all mention android and/or win xp - 7. I don't use any of those here. What's the likelihood of it functioning under wine?

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.

I have a very cheap Chinese endoscope which works ok with Linux and VLC
OK being subjective for quality/cost in this case

That was my first thought. But it takes a month to get here, so I'd sooner see if anyone knows before waiting a month for something that says it won't work with any of my hardware.

3.64 x 3 = £10.92
Plenty sent from UK/EU for that without the month long wait.

Simple enough for you now?
