Multiple usb cameras

[sudheeshk]

hai everyone,
i am planning to add one more low light usb camera to my ROV, can you suggest a suitable method to do that, since QGC support single camera.

Haven’t tried it myself, but my understanding is that QGC actually does support a second camera and you can connect it to the other USB port on the Pi. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, QGC does not support multiple cameras right now, this is a working in progress feature.
To use multiple cameras, you could use VLC or OBS to receive and deal with multiple streams.

Get video in Videolan

Hello, I am trying to get the video stream showing in QGroundControl and a 3rd party software like videolan at the same time. I have found how to stream to a different address on this forum so I now have my gstreamer options set like this: ! multiudpsink clients=192.168.2.1:5600,192.168.2.1:5601 I am trying to view the stream in Videoland and am putting this address: udp://192.168.2.1:5601 It doesn’t work. Am I missing something?

i am able to use IP camera without any problem, but as you know compared to low light USB camera,IP cameras are bulky and power consuming. if it was a USB type, it would be easy to handle and integrate on ROV.

thank you
