>a) How do it?

You'll need a specialized video capture board and software - one vendor for both is Targa. The hardware is not inexpensive, and software, even more spo.

>b) I'll get about 640 images (50 Kb each = 31,25 Mb) a day. How can I store this images? Should I store it in a database or just save like a file?

I'd consider either saving them in a file and compressing it to add to something like a .ZIP, or using a partitioned data file with its own internal compression mechanism

>c) If I store in database: In one year, I'll have 230400 pictures and 10,98 gigabytes. I think DBC/DBF is not the best solution. Should I use SQL Server? Oracle?

The data size is far in excess of what a native VFP table will hold. Both SQL Server and Oracle, with suitable hardware, can handle tables of those sizes. I've used Oracle in several medical imaging projects, and they do offer a complete development and storage solution for this type of app.

>d) If I store in disk: Like I said, in one year I'll have 230,400 files. In five years, 1,152,000 files... How can I store it? In a unique folder? What is the best Operation System to do it?

A single file or folder will rapidlyu be overwhelmed. I'd investigate vertically partitioned databases.

I suggest you pray the world suffers a cataclysmic collision with a killer asteroid before then... ;-)
