Allow users to select which camera device to use instead of always defaulting to the first available camera. This addresses the issue where devices with multiple cameras (e.g., IR camera as default) would not show the expected camera feed. Changes: - Added ComboBox to Options panel for camera source selection - Refactored capture logic into StartCapture method for reuse - Added SelectionChanged handler to switch cameras - Properly disposes previous MediaCapture when switching - Updated sample code text files to reflect new functionality
