With the help of the component, it is possible to integrate a display window for IP cameras and video streams.
The camera images are displayed scaled to the size of the component, with the aspect ratio unchanged. For this reason, the resolution of the stream should be adapted to the component size in EisBaer.
The URL must be entered in full and in the following example format:
http://<IP>/<Path>/xxxx.mjpg
If the camera is secured with login data, the Uri is written as follows:
http://<User>:<Password>@<IP>/<Path>
Depending on the camera, the port must also be specified:
http://<User>:<Password>@<IP>:<Port>/<Path>
