The PX3 supports up to two webcams. After connecting a webcam, you
can retrieve visual information from anywhere through the PX3 web
interface. If your webcam supports audio, audio is available with videos.

is a "powered" hub.
Snapshots or videos captured by the webcam are immediately displayed
in the PX3 web interface after the connection is complete. See
