USB camera test
1) First, you need to prepare a USB camera that supports UVC protocol as shown in the figure below or similar, and then insert the USB camera into the USB port of the Orange Pi development board
2) Through the v4l2-ctl command, you can see that the device node information of the USB camera is /dev/video0
| orangepi@orangepi:~$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices Q8 HD Webcam: Q8 HD Webcam (usb-fc880000.usb-1):
|
| Note that the l in v4l2 is a lowercase letter l, not the number 1. In addition, the serial number of the video is not necessarily video0, please refer to what you actually see. |
3) In the desktop system, Cheese can be used to directly open the USB camera. The method of opening Cheese is shown in the figure below.：
The interface after Cheese turns on the USB camera is shown in the figure below：
4) Method of using fswebcam to test USB camera

| orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo fswebcam -d /dev/video0 \ --no-banner -r 1280x720 -S 5 ./image.jpg |
c. In the server version of the linux system, you can use the scp command to transfer the taken pictures to the Ubuntu PC for image viewing after taking pictures
| orangepi@orangepi:~$ scp image.jpg test@192.168.1.55:/home/test (Modify the IP address and path according to the actual situation) |
