so a basic devices interface/component/library crossplatform to cameras devices should be a plus a plus A PLUS to lazarus ...
I am damn surprised that it does not already exist for years

hello,
you can try to use lazvlc or paslibvlc if you have vlc installed on your system.
Lazvlc or PasLibvlc use libvlc library and can read webcam streams.
Example on windows  for PasLibVlcPlayer :

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TMainForm.ShowWebcamClick(Sender: TObject);
2. var
3.   mrl : WideString;
4.   MyOptions : Array[0..1] of WideString;
5. begin
6.   mrl := 'dshow://';
7.   MyOptions[0] := ':dshow-vdev=ManyCam Virtual Webcam';
8.   MyOptions[1] := ':live-caching=300';
9.   PasLibVlcPlayer1.Play(mrl,MyOptions);    
10. end;

i have some troubles with  my virtual WebCam and vlc 3.02  ( wrong colors) on windows but no problem on Lubuntu.

Friendly, J.P
