On one system we use, the camera needs to be initialized correctly.
The mjpg_streamer program performs the correct initialization. We
just run that program and then kill it shortly thereafter:
export MJPG_ROOT=/usr/local
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MJPG_ROOT/lib
$MJPG_ROOT/bin/mjpg_streamer -i "input_control.so -d /dev/video0" -o
"output_http.so -w /usr/local/www -p 8081"&
sleep 2
killall mjpg_streamer
