The Polycom EagleEye specific cameras are not designed to be used on non-Polycom video endpoints.

 

For video accessory for use with Skype please see the CX-5x00 product line.  The CX5000 and the recently announced CX5100 and CX5500.

It could probably be done but it would be very cumbersome.  You would have to hook up the EagleEye using the 5 wire/serial breakout cables.  You could put a component video distribution amplifier on the output of the camera, split one half to the codec and the other half to a component video capture card.  You still wouldn't have PTZ with this using your PC. 

 

Best bet is follow the moderators advice or just buy a dedicated web cam for your PC.

So sad and such a waste of good hardware...
