Guvcview is the best webcam application for Linux I have encountered so far. It is no-frills, but it does the job well and allows for more customization than Cheese and Kamoso. #MondayMemo

I have tried it out today. Compared to Guvcview, it has a nicer user interface and more filters, but at the expense of a slightly reduced number of webcam controls (at least for me).

Interesting - do you think it would work with USB microscopes/etc. ?
In particular the focus settings are somewhat crucial for such things.
Cheese was always my scope choice...

I would say Guvcview works with anything supported by Video4Linux. If your equipment works with Cheese, then it should work with Guvcview as well.

Regarding focus settings, it depends whether such functionality is available for your device. I have a Logitech webcam with autofocus and I can adjust the focus manually on Guvcview.
