Question

Is it possible to access the camera in a Macbook with REALbasic? I'd like to allow a user to capture an image from the camera.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Found 3 possible solutions:

  1. a free plugin: CamCapture This should work for anyone needing an easy method to capture images from the built-in iSight camera. It should also work for other QuickTime capable camera sources. There is an example project but no documentation. FYI- the site and example is in French.

  2. Commercial option, which I wasn't able to try is QTKit from MonkeyBread Software. This option is not free, but is documented and supported, unlike the free option.

  3. realcapture is a free, unsupported RB canvas. It uses declares to access the camera.
