Can venus OS on raspberry pi support a camera?

Is it possible to attach a webcam to a raspberry pi running venus OS and get a camera to monitor my installations remotely?

Is this still the case? Iā€™m assuming itā€™s a lack of compatible drivers for VenusOS, guessing thereā€™s very people whoā€™d use it - but it would be cool to be able to use the camera module to send an occasional snapshot to a server.

Wouldn't a normal WLAN camera with cloiud access do the job without anything else? You need Internet access any way for getting the data into the VRM, you can use the same router.
