You've gotten some useful feedback already, but specifically to 'take
a pic and put in file', I'd recommend the fswebcam port.  I had a
setup with video(1) running in full screen mode and then using xwd(1)
to take a screenshot, but found that not ideal (although all in base,
which was a plus, it kept me from locking my screen).  fswebcam can
just grab an image and stick it in a JPG like you want.

Hope that is a useful addition ;)

Cheers,

Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd

You can use video(1) from base system for testing.

I haven't used it myself, but I'd first try video(1), which is
included in the X11 sets.
