I’m looking to do a project where a webcam will be connected to a  
computer, take a snapshot of an item and then store the picture either  
in a Postgres DB or locally on the server. Has anyone done this before?  
Where can I start? Does anyone have any samples? Your help is greatly  
appreciated.
