# Cameras

Cameras supply the image observations a policy sees. Every backend — OpenCV, Intel RealSense, Reachy 2 —
implements the [`Camera`] interface, so swapping hardware does not change the code that reads frames.

See the [Cameras guide](../cameras) for choosing and configuring a camera, and
[Third-Party Cameras & Sensors](../third_party_sensors) for devices outside the core set.
