I'm trying to set up a simple two-camera interview using two Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 cameras connected via USB to a single Windows Vista machine.
The problem is, Logitech's camera software sees both cameras, and can record video from both cameras, but only one at a time. I have to select one camera or the other, it won't allow me to capture video from both (or even view both) at the same time.
I want each camera to record a separate video file simultaneously, so I can take them both afterwards and edit them into one inter-cut video.
I've been doing web searches looking for anyone else who has had a similar problem, but I'm not finding anyone. I know that home security setups do this sort of thing routinely, so I can't believe it is impossible.
Has anyone ever recorded inputs from two webcams at the same time on a single machine? Does anyone have any tips on how to do it?
I think this particular issue is a bug in the logitech driver software. Maybe you could avoid it by passing one camera through USB to a virtualbox or something... – rogerdpack – 2015-10-01T19:47:54.443
1think CCTV software, they can capture multiple cameras simultaneously. – None – 2009-09-14T00:36:03.017
