In the settings it says "Camera Not Available" and there's no option to enable it, but upon adding the below snippet to steamvr.vrsettings it works without issue.

"camera" : {
"enableCamera" : true,
"enableCameraForCollisionBounds" : false,
"enableCameraForRoomView" : false,

},

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Remove the existing steamvr.vrsettings file
  2. Start SteamVR
  3. Go to Settings -> Camera, you should see "Camera Not Available"
  4. Close SteamVR
  5. Add above snippet to steamvr.vrsettings
  6. Start SteamVR
  7. Camera should now be working
