Hi friends,
I have a laptop with integrated web cam. I am using "cheese" to capture photos and taking video.
Now I want to write a script with following features:
>>> It should start at the time of login
>>> Automatically it will capture one photo (to identify who is there in front of system), saves that photo in a specified folder and it will be closed automatically....
If there is a tool like this then I will be happy. Otherwise let me know how to write a script....
Hi mesiol and H_TeXMeX_H,
Very thanks for your quick response.... I am using FC9. streamer is not there in my system... But stream is there. Are both same??? I tried to install using yum as follows
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686)
looking for available devices
port 280-311
type : Xvideo, image scaler
name : NV17 Video Texture
/dev/video0: OK [ -device /dev/video0 ]
type : v4l2
name : Laptop Integrated Webcam

I think you need to mess with the settings, it looks like it can't get 320x240 resolution. Also, avoid copying stuff around in the system directories, I doubt it will help, but you could really mess up your system.
I have tried in google search but I am not able to find proper solution....
GUI is not opening for "xawtv"... So, how can change settings through command line????
Please help me....
Are you kidding? How a webcam can identify a person??
Perhaps it has a function that can capture pictures by the webcam and save them to a specified folder?
