Linux
To get a webcam working for Linux, ensure that it's supported. Newer webcams tend to have support though cheaper non-HD webcams from China might not. You should see a /dev/videoS0 device when the webcam is plugged into the computer. If not, check dmesg and see if the USB device is being detected. lsusb should also list it.
To capture images, use any one of the following utilities:
- fswebcam
- uvccapture
fswebcam
fswebcam -r 640x480 --jpeg 85 -D 1 web-cam-shot.jpg
