Camera choice

[souravrs999]

Why did pupil capture software recommend logitech C525/C512 and Microsoft HD-6000 and why does it crash when used with other cameras

Thanks in advance

Hi @souravrs999. The DIY Kit was developed a few years ago and these cameras were the best fit at the time. We support all cameras that fulfill these requirements:

1. UVC 1.1 [1] (Chapters below refer to this document)
2. Support Video Interface Class Code 0x0E CC_VIDEO (see A.1)
3. Support Video Subclass Code 0x02 SC_VIDEOSTREAMING (see A.2)
4. Support for the UVC_VS_FRAME_MJPEG (0x07) video streaming interface descriptor subtype (A.6)
5. Support UVC_FRAME_FORMAT_COMPRESSED frame format

Currently, we do not support UVC 1.5 cameras. See this active issue for reference.
