## USB camera

The USB device class definition for video devices or USB video class defines video streaming functionality on the USB. USB video class (UVC)-compliant peripherals need only a generic driver. The driver implements the Video4Linux 2 (V4L2) API. The camera application can use standard input/output controls to set the image size, format, and frame interval and also get image frames.

The USB camera supports UVC-compliant devices, webcams, digital camcorders, and still-image cameras.
