Tired of your webcam putting you out of focus after it forgets your preferred settings?
Turn that blurry frown upside down with ./camera-cli
camera-cli is a tiny executable for quickly configuring a webcam such as the Logitech C920 HD Pro to specific settings.
The Logitech C920 (and perhaps many other webcams) reset settings every time they are unplugged. For those who use a laptop / frequently disconnect a camera, this can be extremely annoying. The Camera Settings app provided by Logitech requires a bunch of steps to reapply preferred settings. I built this script as a faster alternative to the Logitech app.
The script currently:
- Disables auto-focus
- Sets focus to minimum value
See LibUVC docs for customizing your own configuration.
Leverages LibUVC so likely works with other webcams.
This small executable is hardly a CLI, but may become more customizable and easy to install in the future if there is demand.
Requires homebrew
On Mac: (Intel or Apple Silicon)
brew install libuvc
make
./camera-cli
