OK, I plugged in a web cam device (something called a 'Zoomy' -- a web cam/microscope). It is recognized by the unc driver. Now what?
Does there exist a program that can use this device? Or do I have to write one from scratch? I have been searching the web, but all of the links are about getting and installing *drivers*. I don't need a driver, I need a userland program.
With Ubuntu 14.04, there is a program named Cheese, but I can't find a version that works with CentOS 5. And no, don't tell me to install Ubuntu 14.04!

Well, can we recommend that you to install CentOS 7? Because right now you're limited to a set of applications that were available in 2007. Cheese and Ekiga are packaged for more recent releases than CentOS 5.
