POWA will be a program to operate a Webcam. It supports live video, instant decision (with a TIMER or a button), and more. # Notes: I have been reports that using the cameras 'PwC' driver (Philips) do not work with PATA. I intend to fix it quickly but I need a test unit since I have no such object.I 'I coded this program with my webcam (Creative Webcam 3) and the video stream works for me. I want to make a list of working webcams and add support for webcams that do not work yet. So if you have a webcam and you have problems with the PATA, please send me an email explaining the problem, or better, make a patch to run it and send it to me.I want to thank you Damien Sandras (GnomeMeeting) gave me some ideas. Well that's it. It should compile with the typical ". / Configure make make install". I had problems to get the installation work. So if you go a few bugs here, please contact me.POWA takes an optional argument to the command line yet, the device file (for example, the PATA / dev/video1). By default, PATA will try to use the / dev/video0 device file.Here are some key features of "PATA" · GUI A simple and intuitive with streaming video input · Picture backup system files ( via ImageMagick supports over 60 file formats) Snapshot · annotation with text · timer Snapshot What's new in this version: • At last a new version! · New feature: Image annotation with text · New Feature: Timer to take a picture every X seconds · Some graphic improvements
