Hi, I have managed to get Oak camera recognized as a webcam but I cannot use it inside another script when I try to access it by cv2. Initially what worked for me was following the Using UVC for webcam. Please help thank you!
Oak camera not detected using cv2 VideoCapture

jakaskerl Hi could you please tell me how I can show that? I was separately running the webcam as mentioned here https://docs.luxonis.com/en/latest/pages/oak_webcam/ using the UVC option. Thank you for your help!
Hi SadiaC
Did you try any of the workarounds? https://docs.luxonis.com/en/latest/pages/oak_webcam/#webcam-workarounds
Also make sure your depthai and depthai_sdk are up to date.

Hi SadiaC
Could you paste your code?
I can confirm that it works for me with this code:
import cv2
# Initialize the VideoCapture object to use the default camera (camera index 1 since 0 is my webcam)
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
# Check if the camera opened successfully
if not cap.isOpened():
print("Error: Could not open camera.")
exit()
# Loop to continuously get frames from the camera
while True:
# Capture frame-by-frame
ret, frame = cap.read()
# Check if the frame was captured successfully
if not ret:
print("Error: Could not read frame.")
break
# Display the resulting frame
cv2.imshow('Video Feed', frame)
# Break the loop if 'q' is pressed
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
# Release the VideoCapture object and close display window
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()Thanks,
Jaka
