Max number of USB webcams at the same time

Hi everyone, I connected 4 Trust USB webcams to my laptop and I'm trying to show them inside a CamMultiView component. I started from the WebCamMulti demo example.

The problem is that I can get just 3 USB webcams working at the same time. The webcams are all working, I can see each of them inside the CamMultiView, but only 3 simultaneously. The only way to see 4 webcams at the same time was to use che laptop integrated webcam and 3 external USB webcam.

I tried to turn them on in a different order and position, I tried to use others USB webcams (with lower resoluion than the integrated one), I tried to change some properties and use the lowest resolution, but only 3 external USB webcams are working.

Where may be the problem? Is there a performance limit, a webcams number limit or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks everyone in advance

RVMedia does not have a limit on the count of local web cameras.
Can some other software show video from 4 cameras?

Thanks for the answer. I tried some softwares i found online but they all allow me to use a maximum of 2 webcams in their free versions. If you know one I can use and test for free let me know, thank you!
