.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mjpg_streamer
takes JPGs from Linux\-UVC compatible webcams, from the filesystem or from
other input plugins and streams them as M\-JPEG via HTTP to webbrowsers, VLC
and other software. Alternatively, the stream can be saved to a file or
single frames can be captured and saved. It is the successor of
uvc\-streamer, a Linux\-UVC streaming application with Pan/Tilt.
