The particular message:

You have denied camera access

Indicates that you previously denied access to the camera beforehand for the specific domain, are not necessarily connected to HTTPS, to confirm that your site is blocked in your browser, access the address on Chrome:

chrome://settings/content/camera

And then see if it's on the blocked list:

AboutHTTPS

AsfarasIknow,itisimpossibletouseanon-HTTPScamerainchrome,soforexample,theMediaDevices.getUserMedia()functionwillnotwork,theydidthistopreventunencryptedconnectionsfrombeinginterceptedor"attacked" as in Wi-Fi networks. example.

As per the notice in link

Warning: Direct camera access is a powerful feature and therefore requires user authorization and your site must be in a secure source (HTTPS).

If you try, this warning will appear in the console:

[Deprecation] getUserMedia () no longer works on insecure origins. To use this feature, you should consider switching your application to a secure source, such as HTTPS.

For details on the APIs that require HTTPS, go to:

However in your browser, and only on your own, for testing you can add an allowed domain without HTTPS, just in the Chrome shortcut icon add this

--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure="meu-site.com.br"

However as I said it is only in your browser, it will not work for other users / computers, unless the person does this manually, the only solution is to use HTTPS or a third party service to work with videos and webcam.
