How it works...
Working with cameras in OpenCV is done through the cv2.VideoCapture class. In fact it provides support when working with both cameras and video files. To instantiate an object representing a frame stream coming from a camera, you should just specify its number (zero-based device index). If OpenCV doesn't support your camera out of the box, you can try recompiling OpenCV, turning on optional support of other industrial camera types.
