Hi,

I am working on a simple USB camera based surveillance system project and wanted to use the pd/usb-camera-node to achieve this. I am running Node-RED version: v1.3.4 and Node.js version: v14.16.1 on my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop. I have installed fswebcam following this website.

When I connect the camera node (in Buffer mode) as shown below, my dashboard outputs a black window meaning that the image is not being captured (moreover I can confirm that my webcam is not being triggered). In this flow, I want the node to output image as an Image Buffer, which I would then convert to base64 before displaying it on my dashboard.

However, when I use the older version of the node (see the disabled node in the image) and set up a 0 value trigger, I am able to get an image in the dashboard.

Is there anything wrong with my implementation?

I'm running node red 2.1.3 and receive the following message in the dbug pane:

"[RED.events] Deprecated use of "nodes-started" event from "/Users/al/.node-red/node_modules/@prescient-devices/node-red-contrib-dashboard-input-persistence/nodes/state_runtime.js:54:22". Use "flows:started" instead."

Everything works, but I suspect that will not be the case for future node red releases.

Hi,

would it be possible to use an input junction to trigger this node rather than a mouse click? I want an event to trigger a request for data, eg in Home Assistant when I set a switch called "away" I want it to ask "for how long?"

Thanks

Looking at this node, I noticed that it uses 'node-webcam' under the covers. Seeing that, I installed 'imagesnap' (https://github.com/rharder/imagesnap) on my mac and edit usb-camera.js and changed line 189 from
device: false,
to
device: "C615",
(C615' is the model of the logitech webcam I have) and it took pictures with no issues.

So simply be adding an option to define the device and adding some text to the readme telling people to install 'imagesnap' on the mac, you would open the use of this node to a larger audience.

It's possible that it would also work on windows by following the directions it the 'node-usbcam' readme. Not having access to a windows machine, I am unable to verify this part.

port-finder/admin-api-url not available in node-red library(pallet manager)

The only difference I could find between this and our other custom nodes(which are downloadable through pallet manager) is in package.json file the name

"node-red": {
"nodes": {
"name": "name.js"
}
},
