Is anyone experiencing issues with external UVC cameras (webcams) after upgrading to Monterey?
I have a Raspberry Pi webcam that was working really well under earlier versions of Mac OS, but Monterey is not “seeing” the camera. System Information says “no camera device found”. If I reboot the same machine with Big Sur the camera is detected.
IO Registry Explorer shows that the device registers okay and the device type is UVC. The difference between Big Sur and Monterey appears to be the upper abstraction layers. The UVC assistants are different between the two…
Let us see if we can track camera issues here:
Make : model : physical connection
For me:
Raspberry Pi Zero W : running ShowMeWebcam “firmware” : connected by USB2
