Question

How to accurately detect a webcam?

I've been having problems with the Camera.get method returning drivers that are not even web cameras. For instance, I connect with one computer and the camera name is called "ATI T200 AVStream Analog Capture" - this is not a webcam.

So my question is, is there anyway to accurately detect one? I even tried messing around with motion detection, and while there is no video output from the driver mentioned above, the motion fluctuates between values 0-6.

    Not really. It's the driver the Flashplayer recognizes, not the hardware, so if Flash thinks it's a camera driver, it gets added to the list .
