You may find the command line syntax opening the device/file/network
flow with the GUI. For webcams, I found:

        vlc v4l2:// :v4l2-dev=/dev/video0 :v4l2-standard=0

You may also start the webcam from a playlist with:

        #EXTINF:0,webcam
        #EXTVLCOPT:v4l2-dev=/dev/video0
        #EXTVLCOPT:v4l2-standard=0
        v4l2://
