Camera model Amcrest AWC201-B
What is the problem?
From a cold start when i power up the printer and raspberry pi the camera will in 1 out of 2 times not connect, on octoprint it just says webcam stream loading and the LED lights on the camera will not light up.
The camera lights will be on just until the point of where the octodash screen for the rasbperry pi will load up.
If i turn all off, wait and turn it back on, sometimes after a few times the camera will work. If the camera is working it stays working. If i leave it powered on it is fine, this issue happens after all has been turned off and it powered back on.
What did you already try to solve it?
I have tried a powered USB hub which the camera uses seperatley. It has a 1 amp power supply exclusively for the camera. Would like to be able to understand if there is an error log somewhere telling me why the camera shuts down during the boot up process.

- It seems that you don't have VL805 (Raspberry Pi 4).
There should be no problems with USB (a.k.a. select() timeout)
