Camera

The controller supports third-party IP web camera integration into its visualization.

Only cameras supporting HTTP MJPEG streaming in the web browser can be visualized.

Configure the camera parameters as follows:

1. Local source URL:

   • Use the local source address of the video stream available on the same sub-network.

2. Remote source URL:

   • Specify the remote source address of the video stream.

   • The remote camera stream is displayed when the client IP is from a different sub-network than the server.

3. Window size:

   • Define the width and height for displaying the video graph.

4. Custom name:

   • Assign a name to the camera object.

5. Auto open window:

   • Enable this option to automatically open the video window when the plan is accessed.

6. Additional classes:

   • Create an additional class for custom CSS modifications targeting specific graphical objects.

7. Hide background:

   • Choose whether to hide the icon background.

If your IP camera requires a username and password, format the URL accordingly:

http://USER:PASSWORD@IP

Once you have defined the camera parameters, click the Add to plan button. A newly created object will appear on the map, which you can move to your desired location.

Adjust the element size and position (refer to Object).

Click Save and reload plan to activate the camera.

Streaming issues:

Keep in mind that the controller acts as a redirecting stream from the camera to the browser. If the stream doesn’t work, it is likely a web browser issue, not related to the controller.

For external camera availability, ensure that the camera’s IP is port-forwarded through the router. When adding an external camera, use the correct IP with the port (e.g., IP:port). Using the local IP will not make the camera available externally.

If you encounter issues with direct video streaming, contact the technical support of the camera manufacturer.
