Web camera's aren't my area any more but I did test these with Linux a couple
of years ago - support at  that time was minimal so no Tux.

- You can pull the VID/PID from the doze inf files or use usbview
- Can't remember if I compiled kernel or not - sorry :-(

It's quite likely to have the STV680 chipset, and therefore ought to work
with Linux (I have a keyring digital camera with this chipset that did
work after a bit of fiddling, no kernel compile though).

Check Jaycar's refund policy- maybe you can return it if it does not work.

I also found this:
