Because I use Android phones running IP Webcam as security cameras, I can connect to them remotely with TeamViewer to see what's going on with each device.

SmartTiles would show each camera's video feed, and I could see on the phone that IP Webcam's "Video connections" would go from 0 to 1. When I switched SmartTiles dashboards, IP Webcam would reflect that "Video connections" went back to 0. All good.

With ActionTiles, if I open the panel with my video feeds, each IP Webcam (there are 4) will go from 0 to 1. All good.

If I click on one of the video feeds, it opens it up in a larger view. The IP Webcam now says "Video connections" is 2. Not a great use of bandwidth, but I can live with it.

When I close the larger view, IP Webcam does not decrement the video connections back to 1. In fact, each time I open a camera in larger view, it creates a new IP Webcam stream, but the stream never goes away. After a few days I can end up with 5 or 6 streams, multiplied by 4 cameras, and the network gets laggy.

If I close the ActionTiles browser tab, then the "Video connections" finally decrement back to 0, so something in ActionTiles is keeping old video streams alive.

Can you please help?

So I'm looking to buy a camera, but I have a couple requirements:

A)  Must have local storage (I don't want to mess with any clouds, Blue Iris, or NVRs)
B)  Must work with Smartthings, more specifically I just want be able to have it record to local storage when a contact sensor is opened.

C) Must be viewable from Action Tiles.  I would prefer a live view directly from action tiles.  (AT will be running on an Android in the same LAN as the camera).

Most of the cameras on the other threads either do one or two, or don't have enough information for me to tell if they do all three.  I would love to hear from the community regarding what you guys use that would satisfy the above requirements.

I have a video stream that stops updating after a while.. manual page refresh fixes.. using on Fully Kiosk on an Android Nexus 7 gen one tablet.. Video feed stops, and continues. A manual refresh fixes. Same Symptoms in Chrome on my mac. Any ideas on what might cause the feed to stop refreshing??

i see people's tile setups with traffic cams. the ones i found like on sigalert or trafficland work initially but then after a few hours the image expires. anyone find a better source or a way to keep the traffic cam images from expiring?

I have 4 of these but would really like to have the live feed on my display.  

I have a loop radar that is generated by a php script is this going to be supported anytime soon?

Hi,

Is it possible to specify logins and passwords for the Media streams? All my Cams are protected.

Thanks in advance for your support

Hi,

I would like to know if is possible to embed some hmtl code to a Tile so for instance i could embede a google chart (https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/quick_start) into a action tile which would be awesome.

Regards,

I've been very successfully viewing a media stream of my Synology Surveillance Station for the last month or so, but it's suddenly stopped working in Action Tiles - the preview no longer displays the stream either. I know the URL is correct as a can copy and paste it into safari and it streams straight away.

Anybody any ideas what might have changed? The stream is in the following format:

https://[URL]:5001/webapi/SurveillanceStation/videoStreaming.cgi?api=SYNO.SurveillanceStation.VideoStream&method=Stream&version=1&_sid=[sid]&cameraId=3&format=mjpeg

html5 has video and audio tag where we provide source and dimension (width and height) it displays native player. Is there a way to add custom tile to do that? Custom html5 tags is even better. 

I've got a couple of media tiles (static image with 10s refresh time). I've noticed that when I first load up the panel the initial image is one from several days ago - it takes until the first refresh (i.e. 10 seconds) to load the correct image. Also, every so often on a refresh cycle it reverts back to the 'old' image for one cycle, before properly refreshing again.

Last night I setup my first IP camera Foscam I9800P in my backyard and was planning to get additional 2. I was pretty happy to watch the video from the ST app but it kind of saddened me that Action Tiles does not support video footage from its panel. (Correct me if I am wrong). 

Its Monday and I felt like being unproductive at work and I started thinking on how to integrate my video feed to action tiles and it clicked what if I connect a YouTube live link to action tiles will that work?

I am yet to go back home and do the R&D. Just thought of asking folks in the community if they have tried this out or think it will work?

Using same one. I wish the same about cameras however looks like my brands are not willing to play nice right now with AT.

I have a media tile for national radar and it doesn't seem to update on its own. If I refresh the browser it updates but not otherwise. The one on the left is SmartTiles and the right is ActionTiles, screenshot taken side by side. I have tried adjusting the refresh rate without any luck.

Is it possible to store the name/password for each media tile so i don't have to enter them every time (for every webcam) when i load the page?

I would really like to get this to work, but having zero luck. I have tried about 20 different versions of differnt URL's. I am sure it is me,..... that I am replacing the information incorrectly. If there is someone who has this camera, and it is working with ActionTiles, can you tell me what URL you are using... changing of course your private information, but making it very clear to stupid me what I put in of my private into. Like if it wants user name and password... is that my network info, my router info, the camera info? IP address, is that the master ip address of my router, or the camera IP? Anyway I can verify I have the correct IP? I think I do... but I am doing something wrong... Thanks Ginny

I tried the Media Tiles an I cannot view the video stream.
