At the stage of configuration OpenWrt the following modules are to be selected:
Kernel modules:
Video Support:
<M> kmod-video-core
Next you should note the type of camera, which is planned to be connected to,
I have a UVC camera. Therefore, I select the module kmod-video-uvc. To determine the type of camera, you can connect it to your computer and look at output dmesg.
