Correct Way To Detect The Hardware

I'm trying to make my game automatically switch to OVR mode when the Hardware is detected but I'm unsure as to how to do that correctly? I have tried doing this: if (OVRDevice.IsHMDPresent()) ...

Well on further inspection I realised the error of my ways, disabling the OVRCameraController disables the OVRDevice component.

So what I have done is created an 'Enabled' empty GameObject with just the OVRDevice Component and removed the OVRDevice Component from the 'Disabled' OVRCameraController.

Then in Start() I do this:

     
        if (OVRDevice.SensorCount > 0)
        {
            normalCamera.SetActive(false);

            riftCamera.SetActive(true); // OVRCameraController
        }


I tested this works by pulling the USB cable out and restarting it and vice versa.
