Error about connecting my camera to my web app My system camera is working fine when running it on local, i encountered this problem when i connected it on railway.app When i am running a Flask app on a server, attempting to open the camera using cv2.VideoCapture(0) will typically refer to the camera connected to the server where my app is hosted, not the user's camera.

I'm very confused as to what you would expect to happen when trying to capture from a camera while running on Railway? what camera could it possibly capture from?

It seems like my system is trying to open the camera of the server instead of opening the camera of the user To access the user's camera, you'll need to involve the client-side (front-end) technologies, such as JavaScript. You can use the browser's capabilities to access the user's camera using the WebRTC API.

you would indeed need to get a camera feed from the frontend and stream it to your backend
