 * Param:

 *    can be NULL, in which case '/dev/video0' will be used as device name on
 *    Linux, or 'AndroidEmulatorVC' on Windows.
 *  inp_channel - On Linux defines input channel to use when communicating with
 *    the camera driver. On Windows contains an index (up to 10) of the driver
 *    to use to communicate with the camera device.
 * Return:
 *  Initialized camera device descriptor on success, or NULL on failure.

 *  width, height - Frame dimensions for the captured video frame. Must match
