#Show-me webcam USBBOOT: An open source, trustable and high quality webcam. No SD-card needed!
# Show-me webcam USBBOOT: An open source, trustable and high quality webcam. No SD-card needed!

This project is a fork of [showmewebcam](https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam/) with one goal: boot over USB instead of using an SD card.

Yes, no sd card needed. Just this tool [usbboot/rpiboot](https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot)

##Why this fork?
## Why this fork?
A Raspberry Pi Zero is around $5, and a clone V1 camera $3. An USB micro cable costs less then 1$.

This means you can have a good quality and very versatile webcam for less then $10.

A Raspberry Pi Zero with a camera as a UVC Webcam is super fun.
A corrupt SD card is a nightmare. Using no SD card means one nightmare less. More time for fun. ;)

You can use the release to boot a Raspberry Pi Zero, a Zero W, or both from the same directory. No more hassle with SD cards.

Or you can boot two camera's from one directory. Just issue the command twice.

### Give a disabled Raspberry Pi a new life
In my house lives a Raspberry Pi Zero with a broken SD card slot. Poor lad, couldn't do much. Feeling lonesome and useless. Breaking my heart.

With this project, that desperate Raspberry Pi Zero found a new purpose in life. It's looking me in the eye daily now. Yes we're smiling to each other constantly.

## When to use?
In most cases the original showmewebcam with an SD card will be what you want. A highly fast-booting transportable webcam. Just plug your Pi with a camera in any computer and it will boot as a Webcam.

This fork needs a preinstalled/build rpiboot program. It also boots slower: around 30s.
