Hello Dotan,
Your webcam is not UVC compliant. One problem may be the fact that it is
handled by 2 drivers: sn9c102 and gspca/sonixj. In both cases, the
driver gives JPEG images. These ones are not handled natively by some
applications as luvcview which knows only about MJPG. You have to use
the wrapper of the v4l2 library to make them work.
Regards.
