POWA - Procule's Own Webcam Application

A Linux GTK+ Webcam tool
This project intends to be an all-in-one program to operate a webcam either on a website or for personal uses.

Current features
  • A simple and intuitive GUI with streaming video input
  • Picture saving on the filesystem (via ImageMagick, supports over 60 file formats)
  • Snapshot annotation with text
  • Snapshot timer

    Notes: I've had reports that the cameras using the 'pwc' driver (Philips) don't work with POWA.
    I intend to fix it soon but I would need a tester since I don't have such a camera. Contact me.
