[Novalug] USB Streaming Video Camera (Help!)

I was researching Google Hangouts to see if I can get better video to
stream our meetings.

Turns out that a number of Sony video cameras offer USB Streaming.
Excellent! So I connect it, make sure it is turned on in the settings,
connect to Linux and NOTHING. I try w/ a Mac (just in case it is
Linux) and NOTHING.

<SEARCH ENGINE> isn't very helpful either. If anyone has an old Sony
Handycam (they usually say USB Streaming on the side), please let me
know. I am collecting this relics in case I can get them working. If
anyone has it working (don't care the OS right now, eventually Linux
though), please let me know.

Ideas are welcome also.
