After connecting, you should see the main window.

.. Note::
    Normally, if multiple cameras are physically connected, they will all appear in the camera selection list. 
    However, DaoAI Camera Studio only supports establishing a connection with a single camera at a time.
    To capture with multiple cameras using DaoAI Camera Studio, please start another instance of DaoAI Camera Studio and connect the other camera.
