Yes, it stays on, briefly went off for a few minutes when I installed it 
on windows, then after a couple of resets
trying to get /dev/video4 to show up on the backend, stayed on again.

I've been unable to get it to turn off since.  I can try another cable 
or different usb port, but nothing has moved
on anything.  It sits on my server rack on top of the server, and is 
insulated from the world.   :)
