If you use macOS, you can stream your webcam into Kinesis Video Stream like the command below setting fps 1;

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
AWS_REGION=<YOUR_AWS_REGION>
STREAM_NAME=<YOUR_STREAM_NAME>

gst-launch-1.0 -v avfvideosrc \
! clockoverlay font-desc="Sans bold 60px" \
! videorate \
! video/x-raw,framerate=1/1 \
! vtenc_h264_hw allow-frame-reordering=FALSE realtime=TRUE max-keyframe-interval=2 bitrate=512  \
! h264parse \
! video/x-h264,stream-format=avc,alignment=au \
! kvssink stream-name="${STREAM_NAME}" storage-size=512 \
    access-key="${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}" \
    secret-key="${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}" \
    aws-region="${AWS_REGION}" \
    frame-timecodes=true \
    framerate=1

It's not immediately clear from your question what your scenario is. I assume if you refer to a webcam then it's attached to your computer. Depending of your use case, you could check out the producer libraries that will help integrating.

Java: https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-java

C++: https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp

C: https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-c

You could ask relevant questions and get support in GitHub by cutting an Issue in the appropriate repository
