THETA V.

You can use the THETA V with MotionJPEG at low framerate.over Wi-Fi it also has the capability to use plug-ins.

I do not think the SC and SC2 can stream using the USB cable.

Over the USB cable, the THETA V uses UVC 1.5, which Linux does not support. However, there are many examples running code inside the THETA V for processing. You can also use Wi-Fi MotionJPEG.

The THETA S is viewable as a USB webcam to Linux, but it is in dual-fisheye. The camera is also an older model. Most people are using the V with OpenCV using internal processing or MotionJPEG
