hi! does anybody know how to capture images from a webcam using ruby on rails? I need to know if there is a code available for connecting to a webcam using ruby and if it is possible to capture images automatically once connected.

RoR runs on the server, and is restricted to communicating with that webcam-client over http (or some web service layer on top of http), i.e. accept requests/uploads and serve contents.
