USB camera not recognized by Jetson 2GB nano

Newbie here, can’t get my Nano to recognize this USB camera: https://zgearconnect.com/our-products/fullhdwebcam
using the pre-loaded “Cheese” app. Any clues were to start? Do I need drivers for this? Is there a better program to use?
Thanks!

Hi,
By default we support USB cameras with UVC driver. Please check if you can follow the steps to get supported formats of your camera and launch it:

Jetson Nano FAQ
Q: I have a USB camera. How can I launch it on Jetson Nano?

That camera does claim to be “plug-n-play”, so it shouldn’t require any special driver. The specs also show it works with USB2, so there won’t be any issues with requiring USB3 and running USB2.

If you want to know what is going on, then I recommend running “dmesg --follow”, and then watching for what log shows up upon plug-in. Copy and paste the log produced by that and put it in the forum. If this runs on a HUB shared by other USB components then you might add those details.
