Raspberry Pi won't mount my webcam, how can I fix it?

Question

Raspberry Pi

Hello!
I'm trying to connect a webcam to a raspberry, but here's the problem - it blinks, blinks, blinks, blinks and goes into reboot. I connect the same camera to a laptop - everything works. At first he sinned on food, changed 4 PSUs - it did not help. I thought that maybe the distributions are bad - changing Linux did not help. Once every 20 times the camera still connects and works, but poking it in the hope of getting a result is not a good idea.

Now I think that Linux cannot automatically connect my camera - if so, how to fix it?

Answer 1

First, let's look at the output of dmesg after it is plugged in and lsusb when it is plugged in.
In general, now 99% of uvc webcams, there are no problems with them, they are all kept by one module that is in the kernel.
