How can I make domoticz use fswebcam rather than uvccapture?

on raspberry webcam works with fswebcam, but not with uvccapture.

Did you have a solution for this? Can get a good screenshot with uvccapture. fswebcam is working fine. Now I am searching how to add to domoticz.

I do have the same request. uvccapture will give me a green snapshot. fswebcam works fine.

Although this is an old post already, I post my experience and workaround for this. I have an endoscope camera that monitors my descaler that is in the basement.
I had a similar issue that uvccapture did not get a correct picture (green screen with some other colored pixels at the top). fswebcam is doing fine.
Search internet for solution to get the camera to work with uvccapture but no luck.
What I did was created a script called /usr/bin/uvccapture (renamed the binary uvccapture). In this script I execute the fswebcam command:
fswebcam -r "1600x1200" /home/pi/domoticz/tempcam.jpg

You can use other fswebcam options here as well, as long as you create the tempcam.jpg picture, that is what Domoticz will show.
