Hello,
Is it possible to take a photo with the smartphone and then save it so that others can view it directly with a browser?
That would be like with the cctv server.
I don't want to copy it to a web server beforehand.

I can imagine saving the photo in a certain path.
That would then have to be a path that can be accessed from a browser using a URL.

If this works like that, is there such a path?


Thank you

There is no such path that is public to the internet from your phone by default.

However, you can use the FTP server built into B4A Bridge to access files on the phone.

You need to turn it on first.

[Tools] => [B4A Bridge] => [File Explorer] to connect.

from a browser, you can -> ftp://<<IP address of phone >>:6781/

The source code for B4a Bridge is available.

Hope that helps.
