Answer 1

Use emulator help to explore the available options

$ emulator -help 2>&1 | grep cam
    -camera-back             set emulation mode for a camera facing back
    -camera-front            set emulation mode for a camera facing front
    -webcam-list                   lists web cameras available for emulation

and for example, use -webcam-list to list the recognized cameras

$ emulator -webcam-list @4.1
List of web cameras connected to the computer:
 Camera 'webcam0' is connected to device '/dev/video0' on channel 0 using pixel format 'YUYV'

to see the emulation options for cameras

$ emulator -camera-front help @4.1
emulator: ERROR: Invalid value for -camera-front  parameter: help
Valid values are: 'emulated', 'webcam', or 'none'
