It just didn't seem to be giving enough power to the devices.
If you are willing, you can try soldering the wires directly onto the beagleboard. Using a network camera really just defeat your purpose of getting the board. From what Min Soo told me, you guys originally planned on using the Kinect. Remember, the Kinect needs its own 12V power from the cRio, the USB only gives you 5V. Since Beagle Board runs linux, you can give video4linux a try, but it seems as if you had success already without it.
