hi guys I am new with opencv and i am trying to take a video image from a dual stereo camera module.

CAMERA : ELP 1.0 Megapixel Dual Lens Usb Camera Module with Two Megapixel Lens SOFTWARE : opencv 3.4

the module has 2 cameras and one usb door. when i run the code, it open 2 windows, but i receive only the output from one camera.

i am sure the camera are working because with an other software i was able to choose the camera i wanted use and it worked.

With videocapture (0) i got the image from camera module with videocapture (1) i got from my laptop camera with videocapture (2) it open the laptot camera again with videocapture (3) no more frame using 2 times videocapture (0) i got output from the same camera

the code is the following. 

 import cv2

 left = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
 right = cv2.VideoCapture(1)

 while(True):
    if not (left.grab() and right.grab()):
        print("No more frames")
        break

    _, leftFrame = left.retrieve()
    _, rightFrame = right.retrieve()

    cv2.imshow('left', leftFrame)
    cv2.imshow('right', rightFrame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

left.release()
right.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

you could try with:

stereo = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while(True):
    stereo.grab()
    _, left = stereo.retrieve(flag=0)
    _, right = stereo.retrieve(flag=1)

thanks for your reply. i tried with yours script but i just received 2 output from the same camera.

for the moment i solved running:

cams_test = 500
for i in range(0, cams_test):
    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(i)
    test, frame = cap.read()
    if test:
        print("i : "+str(i)+" /// result: "+str(test))

and one time identified the door i have decrease cam resolution because i had usb problems
