I ran this on a mac (Sierra 10.13) and it doesn't save #21

Sounds like imagesnap doesn't work with the latest version of Apple's OS (Sierra 10.13)... if you run imagesnap test.jpg -v on the terminal it won't output anything, but you'll see the light from the camera come on, so something is working, but it is not saving to disc. Any workaround?

I'm having the same issue on Sierra 10.12.6. So far what i could figure out is that when you set a time interval it saves the image locally. For example, imagesnap -t 1 test.jpg -v

@nmsdvid Is right it needs an interval on Mac. I force the delay because of this https://github.com/chuckfairy/node-webcam/blob/master/src/webcams/ImageSnapWebcam.js#L34. Is node-webcam itself not adding the delay? If it's a bug I can fix, but it needs the interval.
