I have a Samsung phone. It is an old phone but everything is ok, including a good battery backup except for the camera. A few days ago, when I opened my phone camera, it did not open instead gave me warning "Camera failed" I have checked the app and there are no issues, it just does not open. What could be the possible person, is it related to hardware or just a software problem?

Try to clear the app cache. That can cause a problem. Also check the camera permissions. I haven't had an Android phone in a while. What I remember is that permissions played a big part.

I had made no changes in camera permission before my camera stopped working. Clearing cache also does not work. Do you think camera would work if I installed some third party camera app.

It is possible. I would try it. If that doesn't help you could try booting in safe mode to see if the camera is seen by the OS.
