Need help with Qtvcp/Camview+GigE camera

Hello!
I am new in Python programming, Linux and LinuxCNC. I am currently trying to build my CNC laser cutting machine using LinuxCNC. My machine will use a Lucid TRIO81S GigE camera for precision targeting. I decided to use the Harvesters library ( github.com/genicam/harvesters ) to work with this camera and get images since it supports a lot of other cameras from different manufacturers. I use qtdragon_hd as interface and changed the camview_widget.py code a bit to capture images with Harvesters.
But there is one problem with this: when I run my image capture test program, everything works fine. But when I try to do it inside LinuxCNC, at moment when I activate the "CAMVIEW" tab, the program crashes. Running the LinuxCNC project in the terminal, I see an error, which is displayed when the program crashes:

    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'GenTLCpp::InvalidHandleException'
      what(): Given handle does not support the operation.(Message from the source: Invalid handle....

I tried for a long time to fix the problem and found the following: Harvesters kernel code uses exception handling logic in several places.(code samples in attached files). When I run my test program, these exception handling blocks work correctly. But when I run Harvesters functions inside camview_widget.py code, the exceptions are not caught in the try-except blocks inside the Harvesters kernel, but cause a critical error and LinuxCNC to terminate.
I tried running different screens: qtdragon, qtdragon_hd, separately cam_align plugin - the result is the same. But when I run camview_widget.py directly in the terminal, it works correctly. So the problem is not with camview_widget.
Can someone help me with this and tell me what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

My work environment:
Linux Mint 21 with 5.19.0-2-rt-amd64 kernel
LinuxCNC 2.9.0~pre0
Python 3.10.9

P.S. Sorry for my English, I use translator.

Here is the modified file. I know my code is bad, sorry. But I just want to test the camera work for now. When it starts working, I want to write proper good code.

Thanks for your help, Chris!
Sorry for taking so long to respond, just today at work I was able to test your solution. Unfortunately, the result is the same, the exception is not caught in the try-except block. I tried wrapping all internal update() calls with try-except block, but no exception was caught anywhere. Could it be that this problem is related to multiple threads? If I understand correctly, the qtvcp kernel and possibly LinuxCNC use multi-threaded programming, right? It seems that somehow this "scheduled" error is not handled by the try-except block in the Harvesters kernel code and goes up, where it causes the process to terminate...
