Hey guys, I recently got a Logitech QuickCam Pro and was thinking about doing some development work with it. I'd like to make a program that will take pictures when motion is detected or when I send it commands to do so. I'm currently looking to do it in C, so does anyone have any experience with this? I've done some googling and found some material but nothing that is really a how-to for the API for this kinda thing. Oh yea, I'm developing it on a laptop that runs Fedora Core 2, but I will eventually be porting it to an embedded computer (an Arcom GX-1 to be exact) which runs a flavor of RedHat 7.2 and kernel 2.4.18.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but someone involved with the local ACM student chapter wrote something in perl using the Video4Linux API (at least that's what the website says: http://www.acm.wpi.edu/~webcam/sincam/ -frank p On Tue, 10 Aug 2004, Chuck Haines wrote:

Check this out... http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6232 The "motion" project mentioned sounds similar to what you want. -Marc On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 12:24:06 -0400 (EDT), frank p <fspoz3@wpi.edu> wrote:
