Sometimes the PS5 camera 'cannot be found' and the video device is not mounted, typically after a dnf upgrade .

To solve this issue, you can just reload the firmware and check dmesg 

lsusb
> Bus ### Device ###: ID ####:#### OmniVision Technologies, Inc. USB Camera-OV###

sudo cpp/ps5_camera_firmware_loader ../PS5_camera_files/firmware.bin

sudo dmesg
> usb 4-1.1: Found UVC 1.00 device USB Camera-OV###
> usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo

What version of Fedora/RHEL are you running? I'll add a note of this to the docs.

Fedora 38 I've created this systemd service to load firmware on startup: ps5cam-firmware-loader-service
