Security Camera Tile

#21

I did comment mixed-mode is a concern. :wink:
Safari and Edge don’t work, but Chrome 63 on Mac and Win10 as well as Chrome on Android still do, but that is likely short lived.
‘IP Cam Viewer’ on Android can access all your old HTTP cameras and host them through its embedded web server as HTTPS.
(This also lets you poke one hole to the ‘IP Cam Viewer’ and access those feeds from outside your LAN as HTTPS. Though I have not tested this exact setup as a dashboard tile.)
Other https>http proxies may also work, node.js maybe? Also untested so far.

I wonder if this is why my astak mole keeps getting booted off of Blue Iris while all my other cameras are solid. It is a very old camera.

In my experience, mixed-mode (HTTP links inside an HTTPS page) restrictions are an all or nothing thing applied by the browser. I would not expect it to cause unstable connections.

Hello everyone. I’ve had a good read of this thread (and the share my dashboard where I mistakenly put my first question- now deleted).

I’m struggling with this one. I am using a Nest Outdoor camera, with public availability turned on, providing you have the https:// URL etc, which is something along the lines of https://video.nest.com/live/************

I’ve checked the link, and it works, it logs into the camera no problem for anyone. I’ve created the below tile, but I’m getting the black box with a broken image symbol. I’m using latest version of Chrome. Can anyone help? My tile is appearing as a rectangular black box, no broken symbol in the top left corner though.

I am not sure this will help, but it’s easy to test this out. I notice you have 4 commands to draw the tile. Can you try all 4 of those parameters in a single line of code instead? I have highlighted the command below:

temp

Here is an example from one of my pistons:

Also, since you are displaying a webcam, I think your wide should be 1, but maybe also add in a refresh parameter like in my image above. This tells webCoRE how often to update the image (in seconds) Make sure you run (TEST) the piston after saving any changes to the code.

One last thing. Sometimes if the code changes, a hard refresh of the browser helps. (Ctrl-F5)

Ah I was wondering how to get it into one line. The code now shows as follows.

I’m still getting a black box, with a broken image in the top right.

I also hard refreshed after testing each time.

I just noticed the https in your link. I have yet to see a working example of any secure image being displayed in webCoRE. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

#28

Yes it is httpS.

so it’s not possible with the nest camera?

#29

I am not sure. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

Have also been trying to get either captured image, gif or live video from my nest cam onto a tile. I’m currently using NST Manager but still can’t see any links or anything that i can use to get the image/video onto a tile.

@tonesto7 - any ideas on how to get this done :smile:

Cheers.

check the latest release of NM (and the camera dth). It should have the image field set if camera streaming is on

Somehow i’m not seeing it.

Also tried on webCoRe and nothing showing up.

What i ended up doing is using Nest API directly to get URL’s which is not ideal but at least serves the purpose. It would be great if the DTH exposes the url’s directly :slight_smile:
