Hi ,
i have a question/ issue pls, can i post this here?
First off… i am a beginner lvl in openhab so if you see stupid stuff, thats why.
My goal for now is to get a live view working (i think via API) but my sitemap disappears with the options i tested.
Explanation:
I did not get my cameras working back in the day with this binding when i gave up
So, now, i just removed my 2.3 snapshot of the binding and installed the 2.5 to try again.
I notice Axis is no longer an option? What is the alternative you advise or something i need to know, cant find anything special about it in the docs.
But…
After installing the new binding my camera was found automatically as a thing via ONVIF with a lot of available actions.
I did have to add the snapshot URL to get this camera “online”
Then i manually made an item in Home.items and linked it to the MJPEG option of my camera thing.
Hoping to just add a sitemap item and done.
In your documentation i see this example in the items, but i think i dont see you using this item in your sitemap:
String BabyCamStreamUrl "Mjpeg Stream" { channel="ipcamera:DAHUA:BabyCamera:streamUrl" }
How could i get a live view pls?
I think i see how you live view on the bottom of the sitemap example, but it has nothing to do with the binding right?:
Text label="Cameras Mjpeg Stream" icon="camera"{Video url="http://192.168.0.2:54321/ipcamera.mjpeg" encoding="mjpeg"}
Anyway… Here’s what i have/ tried:
my item i added:
String Mjpegurl "Oprit Cam mjpeg" { channel="ipcamera:ONVIF:Camera1:streamUrl" }
My sitemap disappears via basicui when using (in sitemap):
String item=Mjpegurl
or
Video item=Mjpegurl
or its just stays empty in my category (but sitemap works) when using:
Image item=Mjpegurl
Config:
RPI 3/ openhab 2.5 / ipcamera binding 2.5
Axis m3204 with API and ONVIF.
And beside the live view question… my next question, i thought i was going to be able to choose Axis and API from the list, is this still possible?
Dunno if i would actually want to use ONVIF.
up untill now i just did it without the binding… but only liveview tho, by adding 1 lline in my sitemap:
Webview url="http://192.168.1.252/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=1024x768" icon=none height=22
thats why i started testing with mjpeg
But was looking for API.
Thx in advance
Sorry for the long post!
Feels so rude to just put my code here and just ask “whats wrong”, without the story.
And to be as complete as possible.
sneaky adding @matt1, heard from H102 that you are “the camera guru”.
