At the moment, Record cannot handle a second camera unless it is present before the base camera is probed. Timing of probing of base camera varies by hardware platform and how the kernel is configured. Cameras can be identified by /dev/v4l links, or through GStreamer. For example, connecting a microscope yields: * /dev/video1 character device, * /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-Vimicro_Corp._Venus_USB2.0_Camera-video-index0 symbolic link to /dev/video1 * /dev/v4l/by-path/platform-d420a000.camera-video-index0 symbolic link to /dev/video1 Suggestions: * offer a toolbar icon with a list of cameras to use, * if camera is changed, stop the stream, change the device, restart the stream.
