This article is for 32bit Raspbian on PI4 only.

Basic Steps:

Install a standard 32 bit Raspbian. (Ignore the image on https://www.theimagingsource.com.)

From The Imaging Source -> Support -> Downloads install:

GStreamer Plugins -> tiscamera Linux 32 Bit Camera Library for ARMHF Architecture

Now USB and GigE Cameras can be used with tcam-capture. Also Python programming can be done.

Optimization:

install the GStreamer Plugin -> tcamdutils 32 Bit for Raspberry PI OS

This installed faster Debayering, ToneMapping and some more properties.

MIPI Cameras:

GStreamer Plugin -> Raspberry PI GStreamer Source for The Imaging Source MIPI Cameras

C++ Programming

The dev-packages with headers and libraries must be installed from https://github.com/TheImagingSource/tiscamera/releases/tag/v-tiscamera-1.1.1


If a PI 5 and MIPI cameras are in use, then libcamera is used and a special configuration must be done, so libcamera knows, which sensor is in use. The IMX290 is supported well.
