Simple Camera App is a focused camera viewer for Linux. It discovers built-in, USB, virtual and other V4L2 cameras, shows the resolutions and frame rates each device reports, and opens a clean live preview without adding a recording or editing workflow.
Use it to:
The free version lets you use any one camera at a time at its default resolution and frame rate. The optional, one-time Simple Camera Pro upgrade unlocks multiple simultaneous camera windows and selection of any available resolution and frame rate.
Camera feeds stay on your Linux desktop. The app does not record or upload
video and does not require an account, analytics or a background service. The
installed command is simple-camera-app.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for CentOS 7.6+, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Simple Camera App, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install simple-camera-app
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
