I have tiny 3 MP webcam. And seems that h-e-n recognize it. And obviously its not showing up in File manager. Wondering if possible to retrieve and get access to it.

You can use it with mplayer. Try something like this.

Code:

mplayer  tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0

Change /dev/video0. To find all the cameras attached (and working), use:

Code:

ls /dev/video*

/dev/video0 is the back camera
/dev/video1 is the front camera
and /dev/video2 should be your USB camera.
