Matlab motion detector with additional capturing function using webcam

Hi I'm a university student doing Matlab group project.

We are gonna make motion detector using Arduino following instructions in this website

https://makerzone.mathworks.com/uncategorized/activity-detection-with-matlab/

But we want to add an additional function.

We want to take a picture when it detects a motion using webcam..

I (We) don't know Matlab that much.. (Only know basics of basics)

Can someone help me how I can do this and where can I get code for this motion detector (or this additional function)??

The code to detect activity has to request individual images from the webcam, snapshots of what was seen a short time ago. When you go through the section of code that detects that activity was seen, then just save a copy of the snapshot some-where.
