Hey there all.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I'm not exactly sure I have a subforum to ask my questions in.
The long and short is: I'm looking to build a photo booth for things like weddings and parties and such, and found that an action cam might be my best bet in getting a camera that'll do somewhat decent quality images, be small to mount, and have the general functionality that one would need for such a purpose.
I have a bit of a two-fold question:
a) Are there any budget action cams out there that can provide a remote control shutter via USB? i.e. have a camera take a full-quality still image with a USB command? If not possible via USB, perhaps with WiFi? I'm more than willing to do software mods if needed. (additionally, a camera that can be powered via USB and not rely on battery power would be a major plus)
and b) Is there any software for Linux or Windows that's already pre-compiled for such a purpose?
