USB Camera

Philips Toucam Pro USB Camera - have drivers for Windows operating systems. Located in the turret and angled to provide a view right in front of the robot and the way ahead. The USB camera provides a decent quality still image (1280 x 960 pixels) or video capture (640 x 480 pixels). I've set this up to dump the captured data as a file to the hard disk for storage and possible transmission. I've got some seperate software which is invoked to achieve this.

Still Image Capture

Need a pice of software to capture a single still image and dump it to the hard disk with the filename suppied as a parameter.

Video Capture

Need a pice of software to capture a video and dump it to the hard disk with the filename suppied as a parameter. The length of video to be captured also needs to be supplied as a parameter.
