What did you already try to solve it?

Set camera="auto" (also tried "usb") in /boot/octopi.txt
Set camera_usb_options="-r FHD"

Logs (/var/log/webcamd.log, syslog, dmesg, ... no logs, no support)
no webcamd.log
octoprint.log (336.7 KB)

lsusb shows the camera:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 03f0:e807 HP, Inc

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, ...)
OctoPrint 1.4.2

I tried a different camera Logitech C270

Set camera="auto" (also tried "usb") in /boot/octopi.txt
Set camera_usb_options="-r 1280x720 -f 30"

No picture/video - same result

What is the problem?

below is the output of journalctl -u webcamd command
