Hello,

May someone give me a freeware/software name for Windows which allows taking
webcam snapshots(save in file on HD) from the command line ?

Thanks

You can download CommandCam (my command line webcam image grabber for Windows) from my blog here:

It's based on DirectShow and should work with most webcams.
