Four /dev/video entries but just one camera
I have a Dell XPS 9370, which is known to have only one camera. But ls /dev/video* results in /dev/video0 /dev/video1 /dev/video2 /dev/video3, so four different camera devices.
These four cameras bubble up to the applications, e.g. Skype which lists four cameras, but just the first one (/dev/video0) works.
Does anybody know where the other entries come from? Or how to hide them from higher layers?
