I have BI and a 4K camera. Is it possible to have BI provide a HTTP page of the camera footage, but scale the footage down to lower resolution? Or same resolution but a cropped view of the camera stream?
The device I'm trying to display on can only display local http webpages page, and it's not able to scale the stream to fit the display view, so there's these big scroll bars.
Yes.
Toward the end in BI's built-in "Help" under "Administration" => "HTTP Interface" you'll find the complete listing.
The following URL will provide an MJPEG stream that is playable in Brave browser (Chromium-based), Chrome or VLC. You can change the width, frame rate and quality (w, fps and q, respectively).
Code:
http://BI-server-IP:BI-port/mjpg/Cam-short-name/video.mjpg?w=640&fps=10&q=50
In the following URL I have shown the authentication at the beginning of it but in BI settings => "Web server" => "Advanced", you must have "Use secure session keys and login page" UNchecked. It contains MY BI server's IP, port and camera short name because I just tested it (I changed the BI username and password, of course!).
Code:
http://BI-username:password@192.168.200.250:81/mjpg/Cam53/video.mjpg?w=1080&fps=10&q=75
