There is a camera widget in the app store, but it's used for mobile applications and won't work on a desktop.

For a desktop app, I believe you would need to implement a new custom widget. Here's a demo using the camera API built into modern browsers. If you know javascript, implementing that same concept in a custom widget should be fairly straightforward. Otherwise, you might find someone here from the community who you could ask/hire to build it for you.
