Re: How to distinguish two identical cameras

Hi Louis,

but then I am back to the problem of what to do with two cameras of the same model - without looking at the serial number, all I know is the model name and the index number (0, 1, 2) of each camera. The index number is probably no use - it could change if you plug the cameras into different serial ports or even based on the order they were connected or at random after a restart of SharpCap or a Reboot. So I have two cameras with identical model names - even if I have the two serial numbers saved somewhere, how do I tell which is which?

cheers,

Robin

A priori only one camera is active at a given moment
