How To install camera Node red

[@skrame01]

This node does not work on Bullseye installations because it need picamera2 library instead of picamera. Can it be fixed?

[@mahitejavlogs]

Do we need to connect hardware raspberry Pi and Pi camera to our laptop for taking pictures , or it is taking pictures from laptop Webcam?

im using rasberry pi 5 and camera module 3, i try it in nodered, it doesn't shows the camera is connected upon injecting. anyone help please

[@kisokkumar355]

Once my pi can captured, I go to view my pic but pop out no contains data

[@gagawy]

Is it possible to view the camera online always on the ui??

[@hilo90mhz]

I have not discovered a way to display the live video in the UI yet. That would be a nice node to have.

@@hilo90mhz thanx for quick reply. Just now I tried to install a USB camera on my RPI3 but I couldint get the correct nod. Any Idea please ??

[@hilo90mhz]

@@gagawy I have not tried a USB camera either, I know you can do it with python but you may need a different node or to alter this node. It is only for the pi cameras.
