root@zero:~# ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0  /dev/video1  /dev/video2

3. Capture still image:

root@zero:~# fswebcam /dev/video2 /tmp/test.png

4. Check image properties:

root@zero:~# file /tmp/test.png 
/tmp/test.png: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, resolution (DPI), density 96x96, segment length 16, comment: "CREATOR: gd-jpeg v1.0 (using IJG JPEG v80), quality = 255", baseline, precision 8, 352x288, components 3
