Hi guys,
I am making a project to connect 4 webcams to a laptop. Is there any simple way to do this? Thanks

It depends if the webcams are ip cameras, then it's pretty easy, assign them each an ip address and run the software that came with them. If not, there are plenty of software on the internet with multiple camera support.

If the cameras are standard composite cameras, there are multi cam usb interfaces available with software.

I have two webcam in two ports USB, of different mark and each one with his own software, can visualize both in two independent screens, like two mouse one of three switches and another one with roller, I do not have conflict problems.

Yo tengo dos cámaras web en dos puertos USB, de marca diferente y cada una con su propio software, puedo visualizar ambas en dos pantallas independientes, al igual que dos mouse uno de tres botones y otro con rodillo, no tengo problemas de conflicto.
