+MJPG-streamer is a very lightweight and resource friendly video
+streamer. It also comes with uvc_stream, which is a very basic
+streamer, and uvc_viewer, a simple gtk viewing application.
+
+MJPG-streamer takes JPGs from Linux-UVC compatible webcams,          
+filesystem or other input plugins and streams them as M-JPEG via HTTP
+to webbrowsers, VLC and other software. It is the successor of       
+uvc-streamer, a Linux-UVC streaming application with Pan/Tilt        
+
+Homepage: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpg-streamer/
+
+Note:
+
+The included uvc_viewer is a 32bit binary and therefore will not
+work on other archs. You may use mplayer to watch the stream
+using a similar command to:
+
+mplayer -fps 30 -demuxer lavf -cache 256 \
+"http://192.168.1.2:8080/?action=stream&ignored.mjpg"
+
+You may find that mplayer is lighter on resources anyway. Also
+the viewer leaves a properties.ini file in the CWD.
+
+There is an included start.sh script which contains many
+examples for using the mjpg_streamer application. (The www directory
+mentioned should be replaced by /var/mjpg-www.)
+
+You can find it and more in /usr/doc/mjpg-streamer-$version
