    I am using Qt creator 4.8.2, on Debian buster.

    And the error log I am getting is :
    (camera:5761): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 09:44:19.901: gst_mini_object_unref: assertion 'GST_MINI_OBJECT_REFCOUNT_VALUE (mini_object) > 0' failed

      @tech.hi Does the same camera work in general on same machine?

        Thank you for replying.
        I found the issue was because some of the files in gstreamer1.0-plugins-* was missing.
        After installing, camera started working.
