My experience has been that getting a usb webcam to work with DSL (or any Linux distribution) has been hit and miss. If you have a usb webcam I would suggest you look in MyDSL repository for gqcam (I'm going from memory on this so all bets are off). Download gqcam (or maybe it's qgcam...) and see if it works with your webcam. If it doesn't work then there's a good chance that none of the programs will work with that webcam. If it does work then you can use other MyDSL packages like 'motion', which is motion detection software. There's also a module for making your machine into a webcam server but I can't remember the name. I think it was something like camServer.
Good luck.

======== Note =========
The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "
