# Node-RED Contrib Browser Utils
|
|
|
|
[Node-RED](http://nodered.org) nodes for browser functionality such as file upload, camera & microphone.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install:
|
|
|
|
npm install node-red-contrib-browser-utils
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Camera
|
|
|
|
The browser takes a picture with the default camera when the button next to the node is clicked. The node outputs it as a PNG buffer.
|
|
|
|
The `camera` node has a 2000ms delay to prevent slow camera driver startup causing an issue in some browsers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Microphone
|
|
|
|
The browser starts recording after the button next to the node is clicked and stops it when the button is clicked again. The node outputs it as a WAV buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### File upload
|
|
|
|
The node accepts a file to be uploaded and outputs it as a buffer.
