Methods and Systems for Managing Image Capturing Devices

A method of selecting an image capturing device in communication with an information handling system (IHS) is disclosed wherein the method includes executing an imaging software application and loading first data corresponding to an image capturing device compatible with the imaging software application, wherein the image capturing device is in communication with the IHS. The method further includes automatically executing a compatible image capturing device corresponding to the imaging software application. An information handling system (IHS) is further disclosed including a storage medium operable to store an imaging software application. The system further includes memory coupled to a processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the imaging software application. The system may further include a virtual driver installed on the storage medium, the virtual driver configured to automatically select a preferred image capturing device corresponding to the imaging software application and wherein the preferred image capturing device is in communication with the IHS.
