Thanks for this simple tutorial guys!
Anyone still getting “Cannot GET /photo1.JPEG” despite having set the file path correctly, make sure you have installed Pi Camera..

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-picamera python3-picamera

I just want to inform that if anyone having “Cannot GET /photo1.JPEG”, you need to change HTTP static address from ” httpStatic: ‘/home/pi/Pictures/’, ” to ” httpStatic: ‘/home/pi/Pictures’, “. Work for me.

In reply to Luís Carlos Moreira.

Greetings,

Problem solved, just had make a small chage on the “camerapi.js” file:

const { v4: uuidv4 } = require(‘uuid’);
//var uuidV4 = require(‘uuid/v4’);

Now it’s working fine. Thank you so much for the tutorials.

Um abraço!

Could it be related to version instalation?
