I'm trying to get a still photo from a web cam each time the session loads. Running into some issues with Chrome and Edge. Firefox and Safari seem to work OK with http URL.
I can get it working in Chrome using https, but at the camera does not have any certificates so I need to open the picture in another tab and accept the possible danger. I can then load the image.
Using http in Chrome. I can't see the picture in the Perspective session, but I can right click and select open in a new tab and see the photo.
Buying a SSL certificate is not an option. Any suggestions? Also tried iFrame with no luck.
The file upload, as in the drag and drop component? Its not the phone camera, but a designated camera.
The URL is pointing nowhere, so it will not work. I will - if possible make user and password parameters outside the url when an if there is a solution of the security issue.
You could set up a reverse-proxy to route incoming requests to the camera, transparently. You could even have it issue the request parameters, so that external users don't see the request. You could then add a self-signed cert to the reverse proxy, or set up Let's Encrypt (free, if you own a domain name).
You could also probably do that with Ignition using Webdev, but something like nginx or Traefik could do it a bit easier and without buying an additional module.
