Description:
fswebcam is a neat and simple webcam app. It captures images from a V4L1/V4L2 compatible device or file, averages them to reduce noise and draws a caption using the GD Graphics Library which also handles compressing the image to PNG or JPEG. The resulting image is saved to a file or sent to stdio where it can be piped to something like ncftpput or scp.

multimedia/fswebcam: Command line tool for webcams

fswebcam captures images from a V4L1/V4L2 compatible device or file,
averages them to reduce noise and draws a caption using the GD
Graphics Library which also handles compressing the image to PNG
or JPEG.

Works fine with webcams supported by multimedia/webcamd.
