The Unique ID displayed for each camera is the `video_path`.

If you are using macOS version 15.x.x Sequoia or later, you need to give `viam-server` permissions to access webcams.
When you run `viam-server` for the first time, a pop-up message will ask for camera access.
Click **Allow**.
To confirm settings, you can go to **System Settings** > **Privacy & Security** > **Camera** and check that the toggle next to `viam-server` is set to enable access.
