Help Wanted!  
I trying via the Palette to install the node-red-contrib-mjpgcamera with a failed result. I have the latest v1.1.3. running on a Synology NAS.

Any idea why the installation failed, anyone?

I believe that is the key error. It seems that to install that node it is necessary to compile a module. On a linux system the command to do that would normally be `apt-get install build-essential` but whether that is correct for your NAS I don't know.

Just tried to install it and I am also getting an error (see log below - I have removed part of it as it is too big).

That is a different problem, I suspect that buffertools is not compatible with nodejs 12.

Edit, it won't build on nodejs 14 either.

I see it hasn't been updated for three years so possibly not surprising. I have submitted an issue, but whether it will be updated remains to be seen.
