IP Camera widgets

Path: Widget Gallery> Media> IP Camera

Use these these widgets to show images captured from an IP Camera or a video stream.

Parameter Description

Camera URL

URL of the IP Camera when used in JPEG format.

Refresh Rate

Number of JPEG images for second allowed. Max rate = 1 fps.

User Name

Name of user allowed to access the camera.

Set this parameter when access to the camera is password protected.

Password

Password to access the camera.

MJPEG Camera URL

URL of MJPEG streaming (for example, http://192.168.0.1/video.cgi)

When this widget is used to stream HTTP MJPEG, Camera URL and Refresh Rate are ignored.

Performance of streaming is not fixed and depends on many factors such as: frame size, frame compression level, CPU of HMI device, quality of IPCamera. Based on these factors the widget can reach up to 25 fps.

You can add multiple IP Camera widgets, but this will reduce the frame rate for each widget.
