Why can't I access this component's properties?

Hi everyone !

I am trying to make a system where every part of a level has its own camera. So, I have a ASubLevel class, inherited from AActor. There, I have a UCameraComponent :

	/** Header */

	UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Camera)
	UCameraComponent* PlayerCamera;

In the contructor, I initalize the component :

	PlayerCamera = PCIP.CreateDefaultSubobject<UCameraComponent>(this, TEXT("PlayerCamera"));
	PlayerCamera->bConstrainAspectRatio = false;
	PlayerCamera->AttachTo(RootComponent);

So, after in the constructor, if I want, I can access its properties. But then, in the tick function, it is impossible :

void ASubLevel::Tick(float DeltaSeconds)
{
	Super::Tick(DeltaSeconds);

	if (!PlayerCamera)
		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Can't access PlayerCamera !"));
}

This line is always executed in the log of the engine. So, the tick function is executed. But, when I try to access the properties like with

PlayerCamera->GetCameraView()

Then the engine crashes like if the pointer was NULL.

Than you for helping me !

Did you check if you placed the UCameraComponent declaration in your .h file BEFORE the constructor declaration?
