UsbCamera Class
This is the code block for using a USB camera with Windows 10 IoT Core.
Methods
The UsbCamera class has these methods:
- InitializeAsync: Initializes the first detected camera device asynchronously.
- StartCameraPreview: Begins live USB camera feed asynchronously.
- StopCameraPreview: Ends live USB camera feed asynchronously.
- CapturePhoto: Captures photo from camera feed and stores it in local storage asynchronously. Returns image file as a StorageFile. File is stored in a temporary folder and could be deleted by the system at any time.
- Dispose: Performs tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
Setup
To use this block in your project, you need to perform the following steps:
- Navigate to your git project folder using Command Prompt and run
git submodule add https://github.com/ms-iot/usb-camera
- Next, run
git submodule update
- Open your project solution on Visual Studio and right click on Solution -> Add -> Existing Project. Select usb-camera -> UsbCamera -> UsbCamera.csproj.
- Once usb-camera is added to the solution explorer, right click on References on your project -> Add Reference -> Projects -> Solution. Check UsbCamera and select OK.
- You should now be able to use UsbCamera objects in your project.
Note: Everytime you clone your project after it's initial creation, you must run the following commands in the project's root folder:
git submodule initgit submodule update
