Can someone give a push on that project of mine - basically I need help on making calls to the usb port ,because I've already found a lot of information on the WebCam characteristics but I don't have the basics of the calls . I'm actually new in c++ (thow I've programmed a lot on QBasic,but figures it's so different ) . To be more specific I want a number type converting of the image (x,y,color - no compression what so ever) . But I'll need interacting with the port not only for that so if someone's willing to help please start with that :D

Well, I found an article (with source code and massive explanation) regarding face recognition in C++, but it uses your USB webcam and should definitely explain how to interact with the port. You should be able to learn a lot from this:

I haven't read it all nor done it, but I tried the program and skimmed the source code. Cool stuff.

I actually might revisit this later to write a little security app for myself someday. (Start recording when it detects movement and keystrokes. Heck, why not?)

Cheers, good luck
