The camera
Shows up as
[ 392.407890] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:0821) [ 392.420616] input: UVC Camera (046d:0821) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/u

The software
Cheese and VLC are two of my favorites for testing the camera to confirm it works.
ffmpeg is supposed to be good too.
Zoneminder is web - based and very complicated.
