Hi, I had the same issue with my Jetbot Nano after some times.
If you use a camera module with FCC cable, try to reinstall the cable (Nano off) of the camera module.
It helps for me.

Hi Could you please let us know if you can help us with above mentioned error “RuntimeError: Could not initialize camera. Please see error trace.”

I just installed JetPack 4.3 image, then did the update and the sudo apt-get install nvidia-jetpack
I still get this same error after installing and trying to run the jetcam code.

Using a Logitech USB c920 camera, which worked when I used the DLI Getting Started image. We are missing something.

This worked for me: RuntimeError: Could not initialize camera · Issue #12 · NVIDIA-AI-IOT/jetcam · GitHub
(Assuming you are trying to run the jetcam project)
