Question: can this be used to capture pictures from integrated cameras? #11

Hi, thanks for this amazing library.

I was wondering can this library be used in order to capture snapshot from integrated cameras in laptops and tablets?

Thanks

I don't think so. The app connects to an IP address that's serving video either via http or rtsp. I don't think that's the way an integrated camera works. But then again, I've never looked into it.

I imagine though that one could have a mini-server running in the laptop that takes the integrated camera output and serves it up. With all the projects here on Git Hub, maybe somebody's already done something like that.

Thanks.

You are right, it's just not the way to go with development.

Yes, but the problem remains the same...what serves the mini-server with the camera feed. You get my point.

Closing.
