Uploading Image from local device (laptop,Desktop) to a SharepointList and Using a Integrated Webcam to take Picture

Hi everyone,
So I was trying out the Camera activity which is provided by Power apps to take pictures from an Integrated webcam (for laptop) or an external webcam. I have created a sample SharePoint list named TrialList which has 3 columns (Title: {First Name}, MiddleName, LastName)

I have created a page to show the details in which I am displaying all the three columns along with that I have added a Image which will show the first image that is captured from the webcam.

On-Selecting a particular record:

For creating a new Record (+ icon):

Sometimes the webcam control even after giving the access does not show the camera control instead it shows:

So after some time when navigating back to the CaptureImage screen (which has the camera control) it starts showing the camera

On this screen I have added a Blank Horizontal gallery which will show the preview of images captured, but even after the image is captured I am not able to see the image in the gallery:

The horizontal gallery is set to colImage (which is a collection that I am using to store the images captured from the webcam)
(I have attached the screenshot of the Camera On-Select expression do check that)Camera On-SelectCamera On-Select

So the images captured through the webcam are not visible in the Attachments even after uploading in the required format.
Also on the Edit screen I have added a Image count to show number of images captured and there I am able to see the count of images captured but in Attachments there is no image that is uploaded to the SP list:

The other requirement that I had is there any way that user can upload images from their local system which we usually do on most of the social media, so is there any simple way (without using flow or with flow), please share your solution if you can.

Sidhant.

    Had a chat with the customer and worked with him and just used attachments on SharePoint in the end to make a better option.
