We don't have these cameras on hand to test and debug. Could you
locate these devices in the output of the command:
sudo lspci -v

It is the version of vic which is important - could you check that you
have the latest version of vic (which fixed Philipppe's problem). More
specifically, ensure that you have installed:
ag-vic2.8ucl, version 1.4-0ubuntu6
