I have actual version 042.1 running I tried different USB Cameras All of them where detected as local v4l2 camera but only a grey screen is shown. so no USB camera is working obviously Internal Raspberry camera module is working fine

Contributor guide

Check the v4l2 device configuration in motion.conf and ensure the camera is properly detected. Inspect the motion logs for errors related to the USB camera. Also verify that the camera format is supported.
