Do your cameras show up in your Devices list in your Control Panel? If they do, then the reason your cameras are not showing up in NI MAX could be the camera file. Every camera needs a camera file to work with National Instruments software. The IMAQ drivers come bundled with many common camera files, but it seems like the Edimax and Foscam cameras are not included. So if this is the case, it leaves two options: find the camera file, or generate it yourself. Many companies have the camera files for their cameras, so contacting Edimax and Foscam directly and asking for it would be a good idea. Otherwise, you can use our Camera File Generator: https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/19/creating-a-camera-file-using-the-ni-came...
You will need the spec sheet for your cameras to type in the information pertinent to each one.
