This function block can be used to
transfer images from an IP camera to the visualization. Communication with the camera only takes place in the internal network, port forwarding is not necessary as the camera is read by the controller and forwarded to the app via a secure connection. Communication with the camera takes place exclusively via http queries. The camera must also support this. If there is a snapshot function in the web interface of the camera, this can generally also be read out. Cameras that are only displayed via an APP from the manufacturer cannot be connected. Livestream and sound are also not possible. |
