Hi,
I have a node red running on raspberry and given a open access point to the users, where users have to connect to access point and upload a image file from their mobile by capturing from camera, tried with ui-upload but mobile camera images have more memory so getting error, also not succeeded with http request/post since I'm new, any reference would also would be helpful

Hi @Maruthi
The below Node is a camera Node for dashboard.
that:
- Displays the camera on the device using the dashboard
- Allows to upload a snapshot
However, this will require securing Node RED over HTTPS if im not mistaken

Do you mean that you have opened the node red port to the internet? If so, then unless you have secured the access you will undoubtedly get hacked.

Raspberry pi node red is setup locally, access is given only to the devices on the same network, not opened to the internet, I want the local users to upload the images by capturing the file

"Yes, I tried this, and it works only on the Raspberry Pi dashboard. However, the camera is not opening from the mobile dashboard. Additionally, we are not yet ready with the HTTPS certificates and are unsure how to set them up."
