norm-uvc

Safe Rust wrapper around the norma-core libuvc fork with extended timestamp support.

⚠️ Linux Only

This library only supports Linux as it uses CLOCK_BOOTTIME timestamps from the norma-core libuvc fork.

What does this library do?

This library provides access to webcams and allows capturing video streams with precise timestamps.

Permissions

An Access error might be due to insufficient USB device permissions. Grant access with:

chmod 0666 /dev/bus/usb/{BUS}/{DEVICE}

Find BUS and DEVICE with lsusb.

Features

• Always vendors libuvc source (no system dependency)
• Extended timestamp support via CLOCK_BOOTTIME
• uvc_debugging feature for detailed logging
