Webcam online again

Thursday, August 2, 2007

Alright guys. After quite more searching, I finally found a good software for Linux to access my webcam via V4L2, it's called fswebcam.

The program takes some parameters to add text to the screenshot and let you adjust the output settings. With this little program, a quite smaller bash script and crontab I could realize a very neat webcam stream to the server, which occurs every five minutes.
