CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings

Semi-free CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings 7.4.2

When CamooZ versions before 7.2.3 checked all camera-like devices they would iterate through all available ones and list them, even those that are indeed capture devices but not USB webcams (like capture cards or virtual cameras - as seen with SplitCam and Elgato 4k60). CamooZ did crash at startup in some rare such instances with an EOleSysError.

Beginning today with version 7.2.3 CamooZ will ignore anything that is not a real physical USB webcam.

Minor bugs fixes:

  • When toggling profiles the exposure is now shown in integer value and fraction of a second.
  • The standard DirectShow dialog (that you usually should not be using, it's just there in case you want to compare CamooZ's values with the system dialog) now shows the camera name in its header.

When new hotkeys were assigned to profiles, they sometimes were only active after restarting CamooZ. 7.2.2. fixes that, so that all hotkeys are active and armed the moment they're set.
Many thanks to @derWu for the suggestion.

CamooZWeb 7.2.1 now supports a URL command to switch camera profles - as follows (e.g.):


alias: http://192.168.43.60:8081/set?pr=factory

No changes made to CamooZ and the Streamdeck plugin.

Assign Global hotkeys to any camera profile. CamooZ will process key strokes (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F12) even if it doesn't have the focus.

CamooZ 7.1.0 now comes with a plugin (V1.3) for the Elgato Streamdeck.

The plugin is aware of all existing CamooZ camera profiles. Now activating preset profiles with all your fine tuned camera settings is as easy as the press of a button on your streamdeck.

The plugin is included in the zip-file package for now - I'm confident it will make it into the Elgato store soon.

Rarely CamooZ crashed at startup while enumerating all installed cameras.
Issues occured when CamooZ encountered fragments of orphaned drivers. I have seen the issue with a not properly de-installed splitcam as well as with the old OBS Virtual Cam plugin.

7.0.3 will handle the errors and continue, just marking the item as non-configurable. Thank you @JK14

Major redesign - much lighter and faster - many performance improvements. The web server interface is discontinued and will be made available in a separate application soon.

Saving and loading camera settings in/from profiles is now only available with the full version. You can easly get a license key (for 4.99 USD) and turn the evaluation version into a full version.

UI changes
  • Selecting a profile in the lower left will immediately load the profile
  • Buttons now have hints
  • The new "tracking" function allows to change the slide bars behaviours - much better performance on less powerful machines or laggy drivers

Bug fixes
  • Some camera drivers report to support certain functions and then don't - this will no longer crash CamooZ
  • Using a CamooZ.ini copied from another computer with more cameras will no longer crash CamooZ at startup.
