Logitec Brio webcam

Ive been trying to get this to work stable and reliably. Im not sure when but sometimes I get an image and the cam works. Then, it doesn't. Black.

When I check dmesg and lsusb, the device is there. I delete the cam from the dashboard and add it, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

When I unplug the cam and replug it, sometimes I loose a connection the printer (the blue screen, not yellow) and it wont reconnect upon restart or firmware restart. I reboot the pi and mainsail works again, but the cam wont.

I wonder if usb cams are working reliably, or maybe its just the Brio that isn't working properly?

I am using the USB cable that came with the cam, on PC's and laptops that works fine.

Any ideas?
