I am working on a project of my own research . Web camera is open for 60 minutes So I want to capture the user picture after every 1 minute. I want to take screenshot of live feed after every 1 minute. I tried some videos and website. but found this schedule can solve my issue but I'm getting error of Image is not defined. How do I can pass the value of image to screenshot function or how I can take screenshot after every specific interval and save in directory
If you are using webcam you should modify the code.
in OpenCV for laptop camera to use:
capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
and for webcam use:
capture = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
0 or 1 is used for which camera or webcam you want to use in case of multiple cam.
