|
|
Can you give me an example on how to capture an image from a web cam using a command line instruction. Judging from the FAQ this seems to be possible but I can't make this work. I am trying:
C:\Program Files\Willing Webcam>wwcam.exe -command "vfw cam, picture on, capture,output on"
Nothing's happening.
Thanks much |

You should try this:
"C:\Program Files\Willing Webcam\wwcam.exe" -command "vfw cam, picture cycle off,picture on,capture"
The command "output on" is useless, because the program exits after that. _________________ best regards,

Thanks this works, though it seems rather slow? Is there a way to speed the picture taking up? Also, Is there a place where I can find information about all possible command line options? How do I specify the output image name for example?
Many thanks

Your program can also communicate with the Willing Webcam application via e-mail, sms and http commands. Please look at the 'Option table > Management Kit' options.

The Commands section in the program.

You should open the program in the normal state, prepare all options and exit to save them. _________________ best regards,
