About:
Camsource is a modularized and multithreaded daemon for grabbing image frames from a video4linux device. It uses a simple yet powerful plugin system, which allows it to use the same grabbed images for multiple purposes at the same time. It features image filter plugins, which can be daisychained in the XML config file to modify the image before passing them to other plugins. Included plugins provide compatibility with camserv (multipart jpeg streams) and webcam_server, a local snapshot file writing module, and an FTP upload module, as well as basic image filtering (resizing, flipping, and rotating).

[»] This software is AMAZING!!!

This software rocks for 2 reasons: The first is that whatever it uses to take pictures from /dev/video beats all the other crap out there. And secondly because its got all the features you could want in a single app!

Hats off to this guy!!

When I want to cross compile camsource-0.7.0,I meet a question says that :error:Could not find libjpeg. I list the steps as following. 1)I compile jpeg-6b and install successfully in directory : /home/webserver/web/arm-linux/arm-linux/lib/ 2)cd camsource-0.7.0, export CC= /home/webserver/web/arm-linux/bin/arm-linux-gcc 3)./configure --host=arm-linux 4)configure:error: Could not find libjpeg. I could be very thankful if you help me to solve the question about my program.

Wow! This software ROCKS!
I used camserv for a while, but got tired of it hanging all the time, so I searched around a bit and discovered this amazing piece of webcam software.

Keep up the good work guys!
