Good day!
I have been struggling with the settings for the second day, I can’t understand what the problem is ...
I want to connect a UVC standard webcam to Linux (Raspbian Wheezy on Raspberry). The camera starts up (mounts to /dev/video0). However, when you try to get a picture from it through any software ( fswebcam ,
mjpg-streamer), the camera sends a signal with the following content: I tried as many as three webcams (QuickCam Messenger, Microsoft LifeCam, Chinese no-name), and all have the same problem - this is the image. So it's clearly not about webcams - it's about software. What could be the matter and where to dig?

On the right with a finger to the sky: judging by the fact that the image is drawn from above, there is not enough processor power to process the stream from the camera?

Have you tried any camera that supports UVC exactly ?
