You sure those are right? Are you sure /dev/video exists?

What's the output from this:

ls -l /dev/video*

ls -l /dev/video*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 jun 6 10:02 /dev/video -> video0
crw----rw- 1 root root 81, 0 jun 6 10:02 /dev/video0

tail -f /var/log

Try using the /dev/video0 instead of the symlink.
