Hi

I have made a bird box camera using Raspberrypi Zero W, a NoIR camera
V2 and Motioneye software.
This works but the image quality is poor, reddish. This maybe to be
expected as there is no filter for infrared light. The frame rate is
very low. It would probably be better with a Zero 2 W as I had hoped
to get, but it seems to be almost impossible to find one

Anyway, I boght a Raspberry Pi Camera V3 Wide Noir, and this is for me
a bastard to get going, so I hope for some help.
What I have done is the following:

- Using a Raspi 2B+ for the experiment
- Installed Raspberry Pi OS 4.3
- updated and upgraded firmware and software
- enabled Legacy camera in raspi-config
- in /boot/config.txt changed a line #dtoverlay bla. bla to dtoverlay
imx708

Now the camera is recognized, but when i test it in Terminal with
command libcamera-hello, I get the following:
raspberrypi@raspberrypi:~ $ libcamera-hello
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

This is absolute gobbish for me, so please anyone?

The problem was probably caused by "Legacy camera" being enabled in raspi-config. Turned it off, and now i can get still pictures and
videos.
Next step is creating a full screen video-stream.

Best regards
