I Have something that may be similar.  Its Jiusion Digital Microscope.  It works 
with the viewer guvcview.  Its in Debian so it should be safe.  I had to plug it 
in several times to get the kernel to recognize it ... use lsusb.  First run 
lsusb then plug it in and see if there is any difference.  Mine just showed up 
as Bus 001 Device 015: ID a16f:0304 with no name.  Yoursd will be different so 
just look for the change.

I got the idea from Kris Occhipinti.  Link: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxUPCV3gbqw is where he runs the microscope with 
cheese.

Hope this helps.
