The goal of this project is to allow integrated or USB-connected webcams to be accessed directly from Java. Using provided libraries users are able to read camera images and detect motion. Main project consist of several sub projects - the root one, which contains required classes, build-in webcam driver compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac OS, which can stream images as fast as your camera can serve them (up to 50 FPS). Main project can be used standalone, but user is able to replace build-in driver with different one - such as OpenIMAJ, GStreamer, V4L4j, JMF, LTI-CIVIL, FMJ, etc.

7th Release Candidate for Webcam Capture v0.3.10
6th Release Candidate for Webcam Capture v0.3.10
This is Webcam Capture v0.3.8 release.
This is last release for which all required Maven artifacts exists, however it's not the newest one. I suggest to use newer release if you don't need it to be in Maven Central.
