Hi All

I’m trying to capture an image from my CCTV cameras and then email that image to my gmail account, I’m doing this will a http request node and then the email node, however it is not emailing the image from the camera, I just seem to be getting html code. Does anyone know of a way of emailing an image from a http page?

Thanks

hi @prgantuk

I assume your HTTP Request is getting a webpage that has the image from your camera on it? If so, you need to make an HTTP Request for the image itself, not the page it is displayed on. Use your browser to examine the page structure and find the url that serves the image.
