Components > Communication > IP Camera viewer (MJPG)

With the help of the component IP Camera Display it is possible to integrate a display window for IP cameras.

The images of the camera are displayed scaled in the size of the component, with the aspect ratio unchanged.

The URL must be entered completely and in the following example format (Axis):

http://192.168.100.14/mjpg/video.mjpg

Data points of the component

Name	Type	function
IP Camera Url	Input	URL / path to the MJPG stream in the IP camera, e.g. http: // <IP> / <xxxx.mjpg path />
Camera Url Output	Output	Here, the URL / path to the MJPG stream is output to the IP camera when the user clicks the mouse on the display. This can e.g. be switched on as a signal to other IP camera ads.
Pause	Input	If an on signal is applied, the display of the pictures will be paused. No picture is displayed. If an Off signal is applied, the images will be displayed at the set number of frames per second.
Lock operation (display only)	Input	If this input is not used, the component can basically be operated. If the input is connected with an on signal, the component can not be operated. It then only has display function.
Mouseover	Output	This output can be used to start an event when the object is moved by mouseover.
Opacity [0-255]	Input	See component independent data points
Visible	Input	With an off-signal the component unVisible and with an on-signal Visible is switched.

Properties

Name	Standard	function
URL/Path to MJPG-Stream		URL / path to the MJPG stream in the IP camera, e.g. http: // <IP> / <xxxx.mjpg path />
Username		Username to log in to the camera if anonymous access is not possible.
Password		Password of the user to log in to the camera.
Frames per second (0-20)	5	Refresh rate of the image display. The set number of pictures of the camera is displayed, per second. 0 = speed of IP camera

Note: High Refresh rates load the system more than low. Please always choose reasonable, lowest possible number.

URL of the video stream (format: http: // user: password @ ip-address / path)

Here are some example paths of popular IP cameras. The exact path to your camera model is available directly from the manufacturer.

It is possible to add further parameters with the ? and & symbol separately:

Parameter	Parameter	Description
fps	0 ... 30	Frame rate in fps. 0 = unlimited
resolution	Width x Height	All supported camera resolutions
compression	0 ... 100	Additional JPEG compression
camera	1 ... quad	defines the video source if there are multiple cameras.

Examples:

It is possible to add further parameters separately with the & symbol:

Parameter	Parameter	Description
stream	full, MxPEG	full = M-JPEG
preview	-	Necessary for the further parameters below
size	Width x Height	All support camera resolutions
quality	10 … 90	Additional JPEG compression
fps	0 … 30.0	Framerate in fps. 0 = unlimited
camera	right, left, both, auto	Defines which sensor should be displayed

Here's an example to get an M-JPEG stream at PDA resolution (320x240px) from the right image sensor. The image quality (quality = 40) and frame rate (fps = 4.0) are reduced to minimize bandwidth consumption.
