+# Room camera snapshot service
+
+Lightweight systemd service that serves a JPEG snapshot from any MJPEG-capable webcam (most USB webcams) at 4 fps. The server pulls `http://<host>:8080/snapshot.jpg` for room cams.
+
+## Files
+- `room-cam-snapshot.sh` – ffmpeg + simple HTTP server wrapper
+- `room-cam.service` – systemd unit template
+
+## Usage
+1) Copy the service into place (adjust path/env as needed):
+   ```bash
+   sudo cp roomcam-service/room-cam.service /etc/systemd/system/room-cam.service
+   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+   sudo systemctl enable --now room-cam.service
+   ```
+2) Override defaults via `Environment=` in the unit or drop-ins:
+   - `DEVICE=/dev/video0`
+   - `RESOLUTION=640x480`
+   - `QUALITY=5` (ffmpeg MJPEG quality; lower is higher quality)
+   - `PORT=8080`
+   - `WORKDIR=/run/roomcam`
+3) Point the server `roomCameras[].url` to `http://<host>:8080/snapshot.jpg`.
+
+Notes:
+- The camera runs at its native MJPEG frame rate; the server polls snapshots at ~4 fps, so no extra filtering is applied here.
+
+To run outside systemd, just execute `./room-cam-snapshot.sh` with any overrides.
