I suggest increasing the default count of /dev/videoX devices.

It's quite common for a laptop to have a visible light camera, an
infrared camera, or both, in addition to a camera connected via USB.

Here's a patch that increases the count of /dev/videoX devices from 2 to 4.

We might also consider setting a higher default value, such as 8.

Thoughts? Ok?
