+  NAME: buf_timeout
+  TYPE: integer
+  DEFAULT: 5 (seconds)
+  DESC: Number of seconds before unused frame buffers are deallocated.
+        Previously, memory was allocated upon open() and deallocated upon
+        close(). Deallocation now occurs only if the driver is closed and this
+        timeout is reached. If you are capturing frames less frequently than
+        the default timeout, increase this. This will not make any difference
+        with programs that capture multiple frames during an open/close cycle.

+  NAME: cams
+  TYPE: integer (1-4 for OV511, 1-31 for OV511+)
+  DEFAULT: 1
+  DESC: Number of cameras allowed to stream simultaneously on a single bus.
+        Values higher than 1 reduce the data rate of each camera, allowing two
+        or more to be used at once. If you have a complicated setup involving
+        both OV511 and OV511+ cameras, trial-and-error may be necessary for
+        finding the optimum setting.
