#146623 - Depends what you mean by "Webcam"
Responding to: ???'s previous message

The Web cam comes with a USB port and a driver

Not in my book, it doesn't!

To me, that's just a camera with a USB interface - there is nothing "web" specific about it!
The "web" part is all entirely done by applications on the connected PC.

To me, "webcam" or "web camera" means a camera with a built-in webserver:

I agree that this definition is not universally (or even widely?) accepted - but the OP needs to make clear exactly what he means by it!

Anyhow, as Erik says, it would require a USB Host (Master) on the 8051 - which is a non-trivial task...
