Camera board • Generating rpicam-hello images with remote RPi cameras via SSH

$

For those that have been following my lack of progress in getting images from RPI with RPI OS lite loaded, I have moved to this post and will now only concentrate on connecting to the remote RPI via SSH and that will be using my MAC OSX systems.

I have carried out a few tests/experiments using an RPi5 with the latest bookworm (including all updates), and an RPiZ 2 W, with the latest RPIBookworm lite loaded (including all updates).

There are 2 other differences on each remote RPI, the Rpi5 is using a GS camera and an adapter mount to enable me to connect FD Cannon lenses, the RPi Z 2 W has a Raspberry module camera.

At this stage, I am assuming that these camera differences are not contributing to this current remote image issue, but please advise if you believe I am wrong on this.

The SSH command from the OSX system was ssh -X name@ip address, which allowed me to sign into the remote RPi's. The first time I tried this on the RPI, it did not work, and I was advised to load and run XQuartz on the OSX system, which I did.

The local rpicam-hello command (for both) is rpicam-hello -t 0 --qt-preview

Please note from the attached images that the "mode" each camera is reporting different modes. The first Question is, why?
Here is the RPi5 image, which includes an image...(EUREKA)
RPi5 includes Image.png
This is the first time I have seen an image from a remote RPi camera system that is operating in Headless MODE. and I assume that is purely down to XQaurtz, and again of interest, at least to me, the system starts up this XQuartx package without my involvement...

Here is the RPiZ 2W which has no image ???
RPIZ2W. No Image.png
The RPiZ 2W is in remote headless mode, but it is also operating a version of RPI OS Lite so there is no option for desktop ...

One other point that maybe worth noting is that the RPi Z 2W attempt I made also started the XQuartz package without my involvement???? BUT still no image

So is this a bug in RPIlite for the ZERO???

thanks
