try to use either VideoCapture(0) or VideoStream(0) , but not both (assuming, you only have a single webcam)

Above source can be used both either webcam or picamera for merely raspberry pi . To use webcam change this cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1) to cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

@berak, said. U can disable picamera or unplug picamera. But I don't used imutils library. The VideoStream is for webcam. So u set cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0). The pi VideoStream is for picamera.

U never put this on window.

img= cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)

Here is code:

import cv2,io,imutils
import numpy
from imutils.video import VideoStream

print("Starting Camera...........")
detector= cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
cap.start()

while(True):
    ret,img = cap.read()
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    faces = detector.detectMultiScale(gray, 1.3, 5)
    for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
        cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)

    cv2.imshow('Screen',img)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
