hello all ...
how i can get my webcam name by python ??

in powershell i can use this command:

Quote: Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Select Name | Select-String "Camera"

output :

Quote:@{Name=HP Wide Vision HD Camera}

how i can do this in pure python ?

solved :

import wmi import re c = wmi.WMI() wql = "Select * From Win32_USBControllerDevice" for item in c.query(wql): q = item.Dependent.Caption if re.findall("Camera",q): print(q) 

Output:
HP Wide Vision HD Camera

Glad you got the solution, and thanks for coming back to share it!
