I'm trying to get some camera recognition working on my RPi running Jessie and using a Microsoft LiveCam Studio as a webcam for it. The software itself works like a charme, but shall be used to supply a REST-like service with data. Therefore it should run automatically when booting the RPi.
However, when booting the RPi and executing the recognition software (written in Python with OpenCV), the camera led flashes shortly (like it was preparing for usage) and then turns off. I tried adding a delay in the software before accessing the camera, but I guess that the hardware device is reserved and with this reservation, the camera's bootup sequence is stopped.
Is there any way that I can wait for the camera to boot up and initialize correctly?
