Lenovo 510 FHD Webcam IR module video stream
I can't access the video stream of a "USB Video Device Lenovo Performance IR Camera," which is actually the IR module of the "Lenovo 510 FHD Webcam." I believe that Microsoft, for some reason, has made it inaccessible, possibly to prevent users from accidentally using it as their primary webcam during video conferences.
Since my goal is to use this piece of modern technology for its intended function—Face Recognition systems—I would like to access the webcam’s IR module video stream (I guess there's no need to explain why).
So my QUESTION IS:
HOW CAN I ACCESS THE VIDEO STREAM OF THE WEBCAM’S IR MODULE?
If it's possible to do this with standard (built-in) Windows tools, please let me know how—at least give me a hint.
If I need a special driver, SDK, or any other tool, could you provide me with the necessary resources?
Thanks a lot!
