Good afternoon.
Windows OS. I want to share a video from a web camera through a node.
If streaming fails, then at least take a photo from the camera once every 30 seconds and save it to a folder.
I found only libraries for Linux... but I can't download them on Windows... How can I implement it?

If this solution does not seem too cumbersome for you - use nw.js . A kind of WebKit variant (actually Blink), which will allow you to combine the node and the capabilities of browser-based JavaScript. From it it will not be a problem to capture an image from the camera using getUserMedia and save it to disk
