Comment on Linux webcam take pictures from tty console or terminal / How to make pictures of yourself using plain console and web-camera by tim.
thanks for the summary. most usefull. I have tried camshot and fswebshot and fswebshot works nicely enough. camshot seems to need interactive operation so is not so good for scripts. fswebshot works with a dynamode m-1100m webcam and a logitec c210 although not at the same resolution. the dynamode just works at 320×240 and the logitec just at 640×480. It takes some testing to find resolutions at which the camera doesn’t “time-out” with the software. the next challange will be implementing some sort of web-based streaming of the webcam, with the option of audio.
