How to select webcam?

[Mi]

Hi!

I couldn't find any information about selecting which camera I want to use in RadWebCam. Any sample? Or is it not possible?

Also there should be a way to save and load the settings of a camera.Any hints?

Thanks

Hello Mi,

You can select a different camera by getting all connected camera devices and then call the Initialize() method of the RadWebCam control with a new device. This approach is shown in the Getting Started article of RadWebCam.

About the saving/loading camera settings, can you tell me what settings exactly you want to save? Also, you can check the Camera Settings Control article. The camera control allows you to change the settings of the camera devices and this is applied and saved to the device.

Can you please check the provided resources and let me know how it goes?

Hi Martin,

 

I can't get the webcam to work when calling the Initialize() method. I tried different ways to do this but I'm always facing problems like "ContextSwitchDeadlock" or "RaceOnRCWCleanup".

As I don't know what I'm doing wrong, can you provide us a working sample where the Initialize() method is called ?

 

Best regards,

Rémi

Hello Rémi,

There was an issue with the Initialize() method. This  is already fixed in the LIB 2019.2.722 (22/7/2019) version. Can you please give the LIB a try and let me know how it goes?

Hi Martin,

I tried with the LIB 2019.2.812 and it works as expected.

Thanks a lot for your help,
