Some more info:

I booted into Kanotix (the lastest) and it put an icon on the desktop with this url:

camera://ViviCam5B@[usb:001,003]

but gtkam in Kanotix detected it as an Argus DC-1510

lsusb in Knoppix gave me this:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID2770:9120 NHJ, Ltd Che-ez! Snap / iClick Tiny VGA Digital Camera

USBView gives me this info:
