In VLC player it's incorrectly shown as a noisy rgb8 color video. Same 
output as in FFmpeg.
In SharpCap I can open the camera directly (using the camera 
manufacturer's API), that works without problems, the data is 
uncompressed 8-bit or 16-bit grayscale.
If I open it in SharpCap as a DirectShow device, then the video is very 
noisy but grayscale (no colors). Probably rgb8 converted to grayscale.

See the attached screenshot.

What else could it be? DirectShow doesn't support 8-bit gray.
It's sure that the pixel format is either 8-bit gray, or pal8 with a 
palette which contains 256 levels of gray.
