Hi Brad,
- In the screenshot your template node (i.e. your dashboard) is getting the image directly from your camera, without using your Node-RED flow.
- Then you say that you want to use the http request node to get the image from the camera. That is indeed another way of working which I also use from time to time.
- But when you want to pass the response url to the template node, you are getting the same result as in the first case: you're dashboard will receive the url and will get the image again directly from the camera. Not sure what you want to achieve with that, except from allowing your template node to be able to show different camera urls.
I have explained this here a bit more detailled. It contains some links with extra information about this kind of stuff.
Kind regards,
Bart
