    os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'static'),

                Put {% load staticfiles %} at the very top of the html document.
Also try:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'static'),
)
- - - Edit:
Additionally, to call static files in html templates, follow this format:
<link href="{% static 'css/camera.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
                        I had the same problem, but solved it.
I put this in my settings.py:
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
    "django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder",
)
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
)
Then I rebooted the test server.
Put {% load staticfiles %} at the very top of the html document.
Call static file like this :
<link href="{% static 'css/camera.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
In settings try with using any one of STATIC_ROOT or STATICFILES_DIRS.
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'static')
or
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'static'),
)
