Adding Camera Feed to Tiles for Smartthings

[pbc]

Anyone have success adding their camera feed into a Sharptthings tile generator such as ActionTiles or Sharptools.io? Basically creating an automation tablet that will be mounted to my wall and always show some camera fees along with automation items.

I can do so only if I setup a webserver on TinyCamPro, but it's a bit jittery. Looking at this site, seems to imply that some Hikvision cameras allow this through a http url such as:

• http://[ip]:[port]/snapshot.cgi?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]
• http://[ip]:[port]/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?chn=[CHANNEL]&u=[USERNAME]&p=[PASSWORD]
• http://[ip]:[port]/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?loginuse=[USERNAME]&loginpas=[PASSWORD]
• http://[ip]:[port]/api/mjpegvideo.cgi?InputNumber=1&StreamNumber=[CHANNEL]
• http://[ip]:[port]/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
• http://[ip]:[port]/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi
• http://[ip]:[port]/image/jpeg.cgi

But I've been unsuccessful thus far with my DS2142FWD-IS cameras. Anyone have success with this?

Thx!

Nice to see someone else using and looking for better integration with St
I use ST extensively but i have stuck with the standard UI, i did try and integrate IFTTT with one of my cams, selected all the different detection options which in turn would switch on virtual switches in ST but alas the IFTTT failed completely, testing the IFTTT app showed it had no issues in running but the ST switches failed to switch on ? no idea why, no big deal braker really it was more of an experiment rather than a definate need

I do understand why you would would want feeds with AT but at the mo for us i just run IVMS4200 main screen with ST standard UI in the background and switch between the 2 when needed, not really elegant though

Yeah that's my backup plan. The TinycamPro method is working ok on my Sharptools.io UI, but stutters and sometimes sticks for no reason.

Was hoping to be able to access the streams directly. But then given the plugin needed to access the streams which only works with some browsers I was doubtful.

There is a cam FW update for some cams that allows playback with no plugin, no idea if your cam is one of them or how it might help you but it is now possible
