Controlling QuickCam

[millatime]

Hi there, I'm trying to write a program that will control a webcam for security purposes. I would like it to take snapshots every minute or so. I'm unsure how to do this, I've worked with controlling applications through labview, like excel, can it be done with any program? Specifically QuickCam, which is the software that came with my webcam. I found some code written for labview, but it is for Labview 4.0, I get an error message trying to open it in 8.6. Is there a way I can open this code? Thanks.

go to http://www.ni.com' target="_blank">www.ni.com, search USB camera, and you will find the solution for your application. NI actually makes it simple for you now, if not perfect.

I'm having trouble finding something, could you maybe find me an example?
