To display a list of USB cameras connected to the Jetson board, check the webcamlist property of the hwObj object.

hwObj.webcamlist
ans =

     []

To update the list of the cameras connected to the board, connect a USB camera to the target and run the updatePeripheralInfo function.

updatePeripheralInfo(hwObj);
hwObj.webcamlist
ans =

  1×1 cell array
