Taking photos thru console

ISight

I always wondered, how about taking photos throught console? I mean, without using PhotoBooth. Making bash scripts that use the built-in camera would be awesome! One easy way is installing isightcapture.

 

This is how you can use it

• $ ./isightcapture image.jpg    

will output a 640x480 image in JPEG format

• $ ./isightcapture -w 320 -h 240 -t png image.png    

will output a scaled 320x240 image in PNG format

Note: Seems the project has been discontinued.
