Hi there! I'm trying to use a image below from a live camera on my project. This camera is embebed on a machine that i can acess locally on : `http://192.168.100.9/home.html`. I tried to web scraping but I get `src = " "` on the msg.payload, probably because the value is being populated by api. Some one knows how can I get the encoded data ?

- open browser
- open devtools (usually F12)
- select the "Network" tab on devtools
- navigate to `http://192.168.100.9/home.html`

You might get lucky and find the actual sub-request that gets the camera data - use that URL instead of `home.html`
