CAMV(1) CAMV(1)
NAME
camv - USB camera display
SYNOPSIS
camv cam-device
DESCRIPTION
Camv uses the cam-device file tree provided by nusb(4) to
use and control a USB camera. It opens the tree's video
file to play the video stream directly in the window.
The middle mouse button menu shows and allows editing the
current picture settings. While it lists resolution, format
and framerate per second, those must be set manually before
starting camv(1). One can quit the program from the right
mouse button menu.
EXAMPLES
Initialize and configure a camera before starting camv in
its own window.
