Shows normal Camera instead of IR

[SpeedyGo55]

As the title says, when i launch the program it shows the normal camera instead of the IR Camera. Is this expected behaviour or is it just not working for me? Im on an Asus UX582ZM

This is not expected behaviour, the app should only use cameras explicitly labelled as being IR. I'll add a dropdown menu with an enumeration of every detected camera so you can manually override which camera is selected. I wouldn't know why it selects a normal camera, maybe the driver is wrong? What cameras do you see in Device Manager?

I have a similar problem. The image shown is with the normal camera but without color and very dark.
I have tried to disable in device manager the normal camera (Integrated Camera) and left only enabled the IR camera (Integrated IR Camera). The normal camera application doesn't detect any camera. But IRCameraView app keep showing an image coming from the normal camera.
In the device properties the device description is Realtek DMFT - IR, the hardware IDs are: USB\VID_04F2&PID_B6EA&REV_6018&MI_02
USB\VID_04F2&PID_B6EA&MI_02
The computer is Thinkpad X1 carbon gen 9

Yeah that's odd, these cameras must be wrongly marked as being IR cameras for some odd reason. I'll add an option to the app to let you list all cameras including ones that aren't labeled as being IR. If they use a custom driver it might also be that the IR camera on those devices isn't exposed to Windows APIs. On Linux you can more easily access the raw camera data, there are plenty apps that are able to preview the video feeds of everyting directly on Linux.

It shows USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam and USB2.0 IR UVC WebCam

Also i tried compiling the project but when i run the resulting exe nothing opens

Hmm that's odd, you can normally also compile as a packaged project that installs as msix package I believe. I'll see if I can compile and send you a working build as another prerelease with the latest changes.

same goes for me

I got the same issue
but, thank you for this, i didnt see any other program online that can replicate this functionality

Same for me, worked fine on one computer running an older version of Windows 11, does not work on another with latest Windows 11.

Side note for everyone, if you disable the normal part of the camera, the IR feed can then be accessed again.

I had added a dropdown that lets you switch device, I just also added a dropdown to switch to colour cameras. I haven't published a release yet you can compile the code from source to get it. The making of a release build with Visual Studio is a ridiculous mess and it adds WebView2 and other crap that I don't even use to the binaries, I'll post a release build when I figure out how to build it properly.

On my device I'm also getting a second IR camera show that's the same physical device but it also enumerates as a colour camera while being IR? I also added torch control for supported devices but I can't test if it actually works myself, the option should in theory appear if your device supports it.
