aws greengrass webcam component

Question

I would like to do a realtime video detection. I decided to use a object detection component ( i.e. aws.greengrass.DLRImageClassification ), which continuously called to capture a image from a webcam component for object detection and store the detection result in a database. What component can I use? How to use webcam as a greengrass component, is there any existing componet for that?

Answer

From the existing community components, there are components available for streaming video but no specific components just for capturing images.
However, you can always build your custom component to capture images from webcam. Here is an example  - https://github.com/aws-iot-builder-tools/greeneyes/blob/main/blog-posts/001/guest/bash-capture-loop/capture-one
This is a custom component where an image is captured using bash script library.
