Face-api.js: How to access client's webcam

[SunilKapadia1208]

When i locally host this code, it works fine with the localhost:3000 address. But when I try to use the URL from a different machine, the webcam access prompt is not there. So, what needs to be done to solve this problem???

Thanks in advance.

i think you need use server connect camera ip then tranfer data to client,
you see https://github.com/linhbkhn95/Steaming-IP-Camera-Nodejs

I am not using this code for streaming. I just want that anyone who opens the link can test the age and gender model using their own webcam. No need to stream or transfer images back to server. I hope I am clear on this.

without transfer image back to server,we can't calculate anything

The issue could have multiple causes, do you receive any error? I also want to point out that this is a general javascript question and not related to face-api.js.

Are you accessing through http or https to the url? Chrome (but I think the rest of browsers too) do not allow access to camera under http, only through https. (something I remember, not sure at 100%)

Thats why when you access through localhost it works but not for the rest of the devices.
