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?"

Hi @Bourgou,
In this [link](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/live-stream-with-a-camera-pi-on-node-red-dashboard/10594/5) 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!
