Cameras is a powerfull tool that allows the user to observe their technology straight in the HThe Cameras feature enables users to monitor live video feeds directly within the HMI interface, eliminating the need to access external URLs or separate camera software. This powerful tool enhances real-time visibility of critical systems or environments within the HMI dashboards.
Step-by-Step Setup:
- Enter Camera URL: Start by typing in the camera’s URL (e.g.,
192.168.13.88
) into the designated field. This URL should point to the camera’s live video stream. - Authentication: If the camera requires authentication (username and password), you can input these credentials into the provided fields to grant access to the stream.
- Save Settings: Once the URL and any necessary credentials are entered, click the “Save” button. The system will process the connection, and after a few moments, if the camera is accessible, the live video feed will display within the HMI.
Using Cameras in Dashboards:
Once connected, the camera feed can be easily added to and positioned within your HMI dashboards. Users can drag the live feed element across the dashboard to customize the layout and create a tailored monitoring experience.
This functionality allows for seamless integration of visual monitoring tools directly into your control systems, enhancing situational awareness and operational efficiency without switching between different interfaces.
