Python provides various libraries for image and video processing. One of them is OpenCV. OpenCV is a vast library that helps in providing various functions for image and video operations. With OpenCV, we can capture a video from the camera.

To install OpenCV library, write the following command in command prompt - "pip install opencv-python"

Steps to capture a video:

• Use cv2.VideoCapture() to get a video capture object for the camera.
• Set up an infinite while loop and use the read() method to read the frames.
• Use cv2.imshow() method to show the frames in the video.
• Break the loop when user clicks specific key.

Below is the code for implementation:

import cv2

video = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while(True):?

?? ret , frame = video.read()

cv2.imshow('frame',frame)

??? if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q') :

???? break???

video.release()

cv2.destroyAllWindows()
