The article discusses how to use the Camera control in a Canvas app to capture images automatically at certain intervals.

  • Understand how to capture an image manually on a button click.
  • Set the StreamRate property of the Camera control (default value is 0).
  • The StreamRate specifies how frequently the image on Stream is updated.
  • The value can range between 100 (1/10th of a second) and 3,600,000 (1 hour).
  • Finally, utilize the Stream for the image update mechanism.
