### Feature V4L2 Control:
|
||||
|
||||
v4l2ctl:
|
||||
|
||||
This optional parameter allows you to setup your Cam due v4l2-ctl options.
|
||||
Unfortunatly this is a complex topic. But I try to explain it, as good I can.
|
||||
|
||||
### As an Example
|
||||
|
||||
You own a Logitech C920 Camera, these camera needs some tweaks to get a sharp picture.\
|
||||
A solution was to use a cronjob (timed actions due scripts) that runs a script with some v4l2-ctl commands.
|
||||
|
||||
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -c focus_auto=0
|
||||
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -c focus_absolute=30
|
||||
|
||||
That script gets executed when th Pi boots up.\
|
||||
Not a comfortable solution.
|
||||
|
||||
alexz from the mainsail-crew mentioned it would be a good move when \
|
||||
this could happen by crowsnest, hassle free for the user.
|
||||
|
||||
So, here we go.
|
||||
Simply add
|
||||
|
||||
v4l2ctl: focus_auto=0,focus_absolute=30
|
||||
|
||||
to your camera setup section. \
|
||||
Restart webcamd via mainsail (or your used UI) and you're good to go.
|
||||
|
||||
To determine which options or better said parameters your Webcam provides, \
|
||||
login to your Pi via ssh and type
|
||||
|
||||
v4l2-ctl -d <yourdevice> -L
|
||||
|
||||
_Note: Replace \<yourdevice> with the according string. ex.:_
|
||||
|
||||
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -L
|
||||
|
||||
This will show you a list with available options.
|
||||
|
||||
You have to "play around" with those settings if it matches your needs.
|
||||
simply repeat the commands as mentioned earlier in your ssh connection.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have discoverd your setup write that to your webcam.conf as described.

## Credits
|
||||
|
||||
I want to give a huge shoutout to _lixxbox_ and _alexz_ from the mainsail-crew.\
|
||||
Without these guys it simply were not possible to get that done.
|
||||
|
||||
They both mentioned improvements and tested a heck out of there machines to get this all functioning well.\
|
||||
Thank you, mates :) Proud to be a part of.
