However, it errors out that it cannot find a camera connected to my Raspberry Pi hardware. What is the issue behind it?

Failed to detect a Camera Board connected to the Raspberry Pi hardware. If you connected a Camera Board, check that:

1. The ribbon cable connecting the camera module to the board is securely seated at both ends

2. The connectors on the ribbon cable are inserted to the CSI connector and the camera PCB the right way

3. Camera Board is enabled in the "raspi-config" Linux utility

The "cameraboard" function is supposed to be used for CSI camera (also known as strip based camera or PiCamera). If your webcam is of USB, please use "webcam" function which can be used for either Pi Camera or USB webcams.
