I have implemented code for capturing live video feed from webcam. But the code i have implemented is used 4 cams only. I want to make it dynamic. I.e: If i connect 2 webcam then it should display two windows with live feed. If i connect 3 cams then it should get 3 windows with live feed from all three cameras. I am getting the number of cameras being connected to the system using videoInput.h So now only part is how to make it dynamic for webcam. Here's the code.

int main(){

//Create matrix to store image
Mat image;
Mat image1;
Mat image2;
Mat image3;

//Mat image1;
//initailize capture
videoInput VI;
int numDevices = VI.listDevices();  
VideoCapture cap;
VideoCapture cap1;
VideoCapture cap2;
VideoCapture cap3;

bool x = false;
//VideoCapture cap1;
cap.open(0);
cap1.open(1);
cap2.open(2);
cap3.open(3);

namedWindow("Camera 1",1);
namedWindow("Camera 2",1);
namedWindow("Camera 3",1);
namedWindow("Camera 4",1);

while(1){
    //copy webcam stream to image
    cap >> image;
    cap1 >> image1;
    cap2 >> image2;
    cap3 >> image3;
    cap4 >> image4;
    //cap1 >> image1;
    imshow("Camera 1",image);
    imshow("Camera 2",image1);
    imshow("Camera 3",image2);
    imshow("Camera 4",image3);

    //imshow("Camera 2",image1);
    //delay 33ms
    waitKey(33);
}

}
