Is it possible?

Indeed it is possible. There are several command line utilities that you can use. I have setup a script in my Air to take a picture whenever it wakes up by using imagesnap. You can run imagesnap from an applescript or you can use cron to schedule it to take a picture at a time interval. Another option would be EyeSight, which is an app that automates the whole process of taking a picture and saving it to a folder (or upload it via FTP) every N seconds. Edit: I misread the title of the question and thought you only asked for automated pictures in time intervals. To answer your question, that is, to take a picture with your Air's cam everytime you open the lid you can use a combination of imagesnap and sleepwatcher. |
