`v4lphilips`

Video4Linux Philips Webcam driver for INDI telescope control

    v4lphilips
    -v

## Description

&kstars; allows you to configure and control astronomical instruments such as telescopes and focusers via the INDI protocol. `v4lphilips` is a device driver for supporting particular types of external hardware.

This driver is not intended to be run directly. Instead you should use &kstars; to configure and operate your astronomical instruments. Most operations can be found under the Devices menu in &kstars;.

&kstars; will start the INDI server internally, and the INDI server will in turn start this device driver.

Much more detailed information can be found in the &kstars; handbook as described below.

&kstars; is a graphical desktop planetarium for &kde; and forms part of the official &kde; edutainment module.

## Options
