Processing Video Library, Hardware requirements?

Can you use any webcam that's able to connect to a laptop or computer via USB with the Processing video library, including the capture functions?

  • Not "any" webcam, no - people report problems from time to time. But there's no list of supported webcams that i know of.

  • Yes, I have external cameras connected to my laptop and then Processing could recognize them. But it is not a sure thing... Best thing is to plug it and to run an example to list detected cameras and see if the camera shows there. Now, if it doesn't show there.... not sure what one could do to get it detected by Processing. I don't think I have seen a post reporting any solutions recently. One could always try approaching a larger community like stackoverflow or google...

    The best thing is to try...
