I just wanted to check with it is possible to display video on a form using Visual Basic and then capture an image which can be stored to a computer hard drive.

An ideal scenario to quote would be:
I should be able to capture a persons face using a web camera (as a security measure) when he appraoches my office cabin for making enquiries and then save it as image. The intended purpose is to maintain a database of photos or snap shots of people who have visited the office and the time of visit.
