Image capture - can it be done without use of the "Capture" button?

Is it possible to trigger an image capture without the use of the capture button in the widget?
We have access to digital inputs via Phidgets/Edge MC/NodeRED, and hoped we could use trigger logic to capture.

In operator mode the app only use external inputs (scanner and switches).

Have a similar use case with an Ipad camera. Has this been implemented

This can be done with Tulip Vision actually! You can use the “snapshot” feature.

“Using this feature, you can easily take a snapshot of a Vision camera’s current scene view. A snapshot is treated as a device action within Tulip, and this action can be triggered by any event, like a button press, or a Vision detector event”

You can read more about how to set this up here: Using Vision's Snapshot Feature

Does this provide what you need here?

The ipad camera is not available in the camera configuration for vision.

Ah yes, it looks like you cannot access tablet cameras for vision and need an external camera for that feature. Also of note, Vision is not available for MacOS nor iOS player.

What are you looking to achieve specifically? Perhaps there is another way we can approach this!

I started a separate topic for this discussion.
