Hi everyone

Is there a way to take pictures from a USB camera and store them with Scripting?

As far as I am aware, no. Your best bet is probably to use some sort of third-party scripting library to take the photos themselves, and have them stored somewhere on the gateway so that they are accessible. Ignition itself cannot take photos from a USB camera.
