10 years ago Answering my own question (sorry), I eventually realised that 'motion' captures /dev/video and streams it via its own web server to localhost:8081 -- effectively turning it into an IP camera, with which paparazzo.js works perfectly.

10 years ago good to see that it worked!
would you mind adding your use case in the wiki? https://github.com/rodowi/Paparazzo.js/wiki/List-of-tested-cameras
would be great to have a description of the manufacturer and a sample of the MJPG stream (for testing purposes)

Done.
I've also opened a new issue https://github.com/rodowi/Paparazzo.js/issues/33 about allowing Paparazzo to cope with a break in the stream from the server.

paparazzo.js seems to be just what I'm looking for, except that I haven't got an IP camera, just a simple webcam that shows up as /dev/video.
Is paparazzo.js inherently designed for IP-cameras, or could it be hacked to get the stream either directly from /dev/video or from, for example, a local mjpeg stream created by motion (http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome) ?
cheers
