Hope this helps others out there. This is a complete working application that takes a picture from a webcam via FFMPEG. This application is triggered via a barcode scan and the name of the picture is what ever is scanned. The picture is automatically displayed in the dashboard and stored in an azure storage blob. This is currently running on a raspberry pi 3b running in kiosk mode that displays the dashboard picture.
