I'm working on a project where I with just one mouse click or press of a key on the keyboard, can capture still images from 6 webcams at the same time(or at least within a few seconds) and saving them on a specific location on the computer.

I have found home surveillance software that can display multiple webcams and take still images from them, but only from one at a time.

Does anybody know of a webcam software that can do what I need it to do?

  • Which software have you already used, and what alternatives to this software have you found?

  • "Webcamxp" and "Multi Webcam video recorder" are two I tried that displays several cams simultaneously but you can only grab a still frame from one at a time. And all other software I have come across seem to be the same.

You can easily roll your own with OpenCV2 and Python - some examples that you should be able to build on are here.

  • Free
  • Cross platform
  • Fully customisable.

  • Thanks for your answer, I'll try and look into it, although I only have a little experience with programming for Arduino.
