The RPi camera works with our software, but we’ve had a lot of issues with the connection at Quividi. Only 1 out of 3 cameras would work correctly.
Knowing that, here is what to do to before being able to use it with VidiReports:
-
Simply activating the camera with raspi-config is not enough, you need to activate the V4L2 mode
-
For that you need to load the bcm2835-v4l2 module with the command: sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
-
This should be done at every restart, so add "bcm2835-v4l2" to /etc/modules
-
This driver does not seem to be very stable, better plan for a daily reboot
Now, if the command ‘sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2’ returns an error message like: « operation not permitted » that means that the camera is either badly connected, or not working.
