I don't think you can because both the hardware and the software are
customized to work with OSC. Of course you are free to get one through
the program. Have two Waylens cameras side by side on your windshield :)
The custom one also has all the standard Waylens functions as far as I
know, but it has different optics to better support the quality of still
images needed for OSC and specifically feature detection.--
