  • Take Pictures or Stream Video from a Web Camera Within Your Application

    The WinForms WebCam control provides the capabilities to stream video from a web camera right within your Windows Forms application. It comes in quite handy when you want to display video streams in your app or to take a picture with the webcam.

    It brings support for playing and recording video streams with audio, taking snapshots, adjusting camera settings and many more.

  • Playing Video from WebCam

    Streaming video from a camera in a WinForms application has never been easier. Simply put the RadWebCam control on a form and it will automatically detect the default camera and will play its stream once the app runs.
