Please, is it possible to run a video stream in the dashboard with a usbcamera?

Hi @Bourgou welcome to the forum. Have you done a search on the forum for similar questions?

Yes Mr. @zenofmud and unfortunately I didn't result yet.

4

what node are you using to access the usbcamera? or maybe I should ask, "Have you checked the Flows tab for possible nodes you could use?"

5

I try to use node-red-contrib-usbcamera

Hi @Bourgou,

In this link you can find a rather similar case: it doesn't matter whether your images arrive from a Raspberry/USB/IP camera: encode the image to base64 and push them to the template node. You can copy the template node code from the example flow in that link.

Good luck with it!
