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.

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)
