This example demonstrates a shell script that configures a webcam for video recording by adjusting camera controls through the `v4l2-ctl` command-line utility. It first lists available video devices to identify the correct camera number, then disables auto white balance and auto exposure, and sets fixed values for exposure and white balance temperature. The script uses the Video4Linux2 API via `v4l2-ctl` to interface directly with the device driver, making it suitable for reproducible recording setups where consistent lighting and color settings are required.
