No, Perspective has no direct access to the local client's filesystem. Because web browsers and technology built on them do not permit it (because malware would have a field day with it).

If you have the images sent to your gateway server, then you could use the WebDev module to create a URL pattern that would retrieve them for Perspective clients.

If you had a script running on the gateway that loaded the images into a Database as blobs, you could use my (free) [Blob server module](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-blob-server-module/57970) to deliver the images to Perspective clients.

{ This post pre-dates Perspective and uses Vision Client scripting throughout. Inapplicable to Perspective. }
