It should work on a recent -current (if your cam is supported by  
webcamd). If you are on -stable, you either have to move to -current,  
or you need to wait a while (I didn't had the time to merge this into  
8-stable before the feature freeze, so I have to wait until 8.1 is out  
to be able to put this functionality into 8-stable).

Bye,
Alexander.
