> I am very very new to Ignition 8.1, maybe it's a silly question. I am able to access the Camera from the Perspective App, but when I open a Chrome browser, and click on the same button, to open the camera, it doesn't, but the tag values are getting updated in Chrome as well as Perspective.

You have tagged this as Vision and Perspective, the methodology will differ for each.

Vision has an IP camera component but to my knowledge cannot natively process barcodes.

In vision I have used keyence scanner for 2D barcodes, but using a PLC as a middle-man.
