The USB drivers are very likely already loaded, so you shouldn’t need to load any further hardware drivers with modprobe. I’m not familiar with droidcam-obs, but I just googled it and it appears that it works over the PCs usb connection. I can then use ffmpeg to stream the video from the remote server to mplayer runnig on a local PC (or do whatever else I want with the video): $ ssh ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -f mjpeg - | mplayer -cache 1024 -noconsolecontrols. # v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -set-fmt-video=width=768,height=480,pixelformat=YUYV For example: # v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -set-standard=1 I use the “v4l2-ctl” command (provided by the v4l-utils package) to manage the card.
