I can confirm we are experiencing the same "Camera Not Available" message when using SteamVR Beta with the Vive Pro. ~When using SteamVR (not beta) the camera works, but we cannot fetch the Undistorted image, only the Distorted image~. [Updated to reflect the fact that with the SteamVR Oct 3 2018 realease, the message persists in both Beta and Release versions] Here is a related issue that was filed in OpenVR repo itself: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/issues/815

Bumping with a non-update: Still not working for me.

With SteamVR beta (1.2.1), the Vive (non-pro) camera is usable on my testbox from vrdashboard.

Camera works for me too. Thanks.

Yay, it's working :) Thanks

Can you confirm this is working with vive pro as well? If so, can you let me know what version graphics driver you are on? I am able to click "enable camera" but that causes my computer to hang (and no preview). Note this behavior is with a vive pro on ubuntu 16.04 with nvidia driver 415.18 (I cannot upgrade to 18.04 yet for unrelated reasons).
