You will need the appropriate device driver for it, and that driver
will 
need to support the device.

Probably the easiest way to see if the device is supported on Linux
yet 
is to boot the very latest kernel, which conveniently for you is 
packaged in RPM format in the elrepo-kernel repository. Head over to 
elrepo and set up the repository on your system:

http://elrepo.org/

then install the latest mainline kernel:

yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml

Reboot to that new kernel (currently kernel-ml-4.13.12) and see again
if 
the device is supported.

Phil,

Thank you very much.  

After booting to the new kernel the camera worked very well with vlc
and ucview, but did not work with cheese.

I have never used a kernel from your website.  After checking whether
some of the things I use for production work with the new kernel, I did
not identify any problems.  Are there things I should consider, or is
this kernel reasonable to use on a production basis.

Thanks again!!!!
