Webcam for Windows Server 2003

Question

I am looking for a USB webcam that is compatible with Windows Server 2003. Most of the ones that I have found only specify XP/Vista.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

I'll venture a guess that you won't find one. You should be able to use anything with an XP driver on Server 2K3 though.

I'd be very surprised if an XP camera wouldn't work with W2K3 32-bit.

I have used several different webcams, including a couple of "no-name" brands, on Server 2003 and each time used the XP drivers. Never had a problem.

just to be specific, what are some of the named brands and when you say "no-name", does this include any foreign sales from Ebay?

The only actual brand I can remember is Logitec. The "no-name" units, a couple of different models, were purchased at a street market for next to nothing. Even the driver CDs had no label but included what I later learned to be generic chip drivers. The cameras do look just like those I've seen commonly on eBay.
