Kinobo Webcam Compatibility in Image Acquisition Toolbox

Has anyone successfully used a Kinobo webcam that is recognized in the Image Acquisition Toolbox?

Answer 1

No, but what's the problem? Does it show up in imaqtool? It may appear there as winvideo if you don't see it at Kinobo.

I am buying a Kinobo but I previously tried using a Logitech QuickCam 4000 and it doesn't show up in imaqtool. The only one that shows up is winvideo which is my integrated webcam on my Dell. I'm hoping when I plug in the Kinobo webcam it will show up as winvideo1 or something of that nature.

The winvideo adaptor can detect/acquire from any camera that is UVC compliant. You can check if the Kinobo webcam is UVC compliant.

Also, if you connect two cameras to a machine, the winvideo adaptor will detect them as two devices on the same adaptor (not as winvideo1).

          >> imaqhwinfo winvideo

          ans = 

                 AdaptorDllName: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx\mwwinvideoimaq.dll'
              AdaptorDllVersion: '4.4 (R2013a)'
                    AdaptorName: 'winvideo'
                      DeviceIDs: {[1]  [2]}
                     DeviceInfo: [1x2 struct]

should display them as two device.

ok thank you. i checked and Kinobo webcams are UVC compliant. So how can i expect that imaqtool will display the name of the Kinobo webcam? My integrated webcam will be winvideo-1 and the Kinobo should be winvideo-2?

That is correct, IMAQTOOL will display them as the 'Webcam name' with a suffix of winvideo-1 or winvideo-2.

Good to hear! And as long as it is UVC compliant and I am running the preferred Windows OS then I shouldn't have any problems? (I am running Matlab 2013a on Windows 7)
