Samsung TV camera VG-STC5000​

    Who knows how to get the VG-STC5000 USB camera to work in linux?

    It used to work with a Samsung "Smart" TV until they discontinued the Skype app.

    This shows up in dmesg on plugging it in a linux PC:

    Code
    [  467.880894] usb 1-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg
[  467.981875] usb 1-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=2065
[  467.981898] usb 1-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[  467.981911] usb 1-1.4: Product: USB2.0 UVC HQ WebCam
[  467.981923] usb 1-1.4: Manufacturer: Alpha Imaging Tech. Corp.

    So it seems UVC compatible. Does it need a driver? Can I get a different (generic) driver to work?
