After the new update to macOS (Mojave), I can't access the camera. I'm using a python script with opencv and imutils (doing some object detection), and once I run the script, it stops. After the debug part I'm seeing that it stops once it call the VideoStream from imutls.video. .

"vs = VideoStream(src=0).start()"

So, when I open the Security & Privacy > Privacy, I'm seeing that the new macOS have added Camera and Microphone options. There is no "+" or "-" sign to add additional programs in order to access. Even if there is, I'm not sure if I can add a python script.

If someone has some kind of solution about this, please feel free to share it.

Reset to default

I have found the solution here:

I found the solution! I tried running the script using the default terminal that comes with mac and it worked :) So it seems there was some weird issue with the third party terminal (iTerm) I was using

I used the macOS Terminal and it seems to be ok. So the new Security features are preventing iTerm.

    Note that while iTerm was not mentioned in the OP and since this is a self-answerd question, we can assume iTerm was unintentionally left out of the OP and the answer is most certainly relevant since it was self-answered.
