Well, you haven't said anything at all about what kind of problem you're having with this little project. No, there is probably not any pre-written code out there that is going to do this.

Break the problem down into small parts that are responsible for very specific things, like detecting when a drive is plugged in and then Google for stuff like that.

Thanks for your reply, actually I am newbie and I don't know what API would be used in C# to link USB interrupt with Webcam. I don't know what should I do

The links in the 1st solution are good for a start, but be warned. Since you're a noob at this, this project may be way over your head.

Here are some links for you:
How to detect a USB drive has been plugged in?[^]

MSDN: Webcam Capture[^]

Then it is just a matter of writing the software that brings it all together.
You have not specified any particular language, so I used examples for C#.
