Hoping to get some help with my issues here if anyone can shed some light. The OBS Virtual Camera does not seem to work in my use case. I use a program called Sighthound Video. Its basically a security camera application that detects motion, time stamps it, and categorizes it. The "OBS Virtual Camera" shows up as an option in the software however it never connects or gets stuck at "Connecting" to camera. I basically want to display capture either recorded video or live video from OBS to this application. Is this an issue with the OBS Virtual Camera or the Sighthound program?

Also what is the difference between the OBS Camera and OBS Virtual Camera. I see both options in some programs like the website spelltable. The OBS Camera never seems to show anything in any application that show it as an option. Is there a special way to use this other option?
