Motion Detector

then it’s really strange that you can’t find the driver, did you wrote v412 or v4l2 ?

looks like you typed 1 but it should be a lowercase L

I just typed in the sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2 and it returned nothing so I’m guessing that’s a good thing LOL

So this is what I’ve done and it solved it…

I took your sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2 and entered before I started the mirror and no more error so I started the mirror in dev and it was registering movement…Great!

So I closed the mirror and restarted… same error, driver not loaded…

so I did this in case of a power out,e tc…in a terminal window:

sudo crontab -e

Enter this on the last line:

@reboot sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2

Saved and exited.
Reboot
Restart mirror in dev mode
NO error and tracks movement
close mirror and restart in dev
NO error and tracks movement.

PROBLEM SOLVED!! Thank you guys for being patient!! It’s working.

Huge thank you to @strawberry-3-141 for helping to troubleshoot this issue and suggesting the solution! While I know all kinds of dev languages and tools, I am pretty new RPI and Linux.

Hi guys,
I have a problem. My MM do not turn on the display in the morning. I is possible that my pi camera is in a kind of sleepmode or standby? I have to restart with pm2 stop mm and start again an than it works fine.
