I have a media tile that is streaming video from Blue Iris. I use Dakboard as a screen saver. This is running on an Amazon Fire tablet.

The media tile is not streaming after dismissing the screen saver (Dakboard). I have to maximize the media tile for the stream to resume.

Anyone had this problem? Any ideas for what I can try to fix this?

I have been through the entire feed on using Action Tiles and a live video feed. I found lots of url suggestions, but none that I can get to work. I have 9 DLink cameras with various models that are all connected to my dviewcam dvr on my windows 10 pc. I can also view the camera feed from mydlink.com and the internal ip 192.168.x.x with the assigned user name and ip. I only want to add one of my cameras model DCS-6004L to the action tiles. However all of the url's I have tried fail to connect or even act like they will connect  ie(http://192.168.x.x:80/video1.mjpg?&user=xxxx&pwd=xxxx) will not work in ie, chrome, firefox, edge or action tiles. I am not sure what I am missing, but I would appreciate any feedback from the community. 

New here and looking for advice. 

I am looking for the best doorbell that integrates well with ActionTiles. I have a Ring (1st gen) and I don't mind switching it out. I want this tablet to be in an office. Ideally when someone rings the doorbell I would like the video feed full screen, and I also want an action tile that unlocks my schlage z-wave lock (smartthings adt hub) with another tile that locks the door. 

Also, while I'm here, what is the best tablet to use for ActionTiles? I've read through the forums a bit and they all differ, though I see a lot of people using the Fire 8 tablet, as well as the samsung tablets. Is there one that seems to give less issues, especially when dealing with video?

Thanks for any help / advice.

Hi there... 

I have a Reolink NVR + 4 Camera kit... I purchased TinyCam Pro, and followed TaylorTech's Youtube on how to set up into AT... although his video was for WyzeCams.

I added the IP address ... and log in and password, and Camera 1 showed up in TinyCam app... and also in the TinyCam web browser as per TaylorTech did.. 

But... my problem is that if I do it the way TaylorTech has, and entered the same details for my second cam, but changing to channel 2 for the second cam... it shows camera 1's feed... so end up with 2 feeds showing from same camera.

I went to AT and added Camera 1 into my panel, and it shows up perfect... so I am doing that right.

Am I right in thinking that the IP is for the NVR and it is only able to show the first camera? Or is there something blatantly obvious that I am missing? 

I'm unsure what other details you guys may need to assist, and did not want to ramble on with the whole set up... so ask away if you need any further info.

What is the latest on the Zmodo camera?. Do they work well they with ActionTile? Can you show multiple Zmodo's on Action Times at same time? Thanks in advanced

I was looking to follow what others were doing on this previous topic: https://support.actiontiles.com/communities/12/topics/1072-blue-iris-support but I was not wanting the video to be directly displayed, and I wanted to allow for the use of the web based NVR to be used. Blue Iris (BI) houses all my cameras, too many to display in tiles and I didn't want to manage links to them all... :|

I found that BI has a built in web NVR control that I can link to. If you use the following format and set the url link tile to "Open shortcut in the same window", it loads perfectly.

URI: http://WANIP:PORT/ui3.htm?user=USERNAME&pw=PASSWORD

I am using Kindle Fire 8" for my ActionTiles setup.

Opening this thread to explore the option to officially support Blue Iris security Cameras software.

• BI is the most used and popular security cameras software out there.
• It has its own authentication and also support https.
• Would be awesome to have official support for it and eliminate the need to redirect RTSP by using VLC or opening different ports and exposing each camera separately.
• Having BI Support is something i personally would LOVE to see.

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have a Foscam IP camera that they cannot stream in AT? I used to be able to do this with the legacy Action Dashboard. Now, any of the URL's that i plug in doesn't work. 

http://ipaddress:port/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=xxx&pwd=xxx&cmd=setSubStreamFormat&format=1

http://ipaddress:port/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=xxx&pwd=xxx

rtsp://admin:admin@ipaddress:port/videoMain

I had purchased a Samsung Smart Cam and was looking to integrate into actiontiles and was told it wouldn't work because it used rtsp.

So I did some research and saw a lot of people were using Foscam cameras. So I picked one up. I got the Foscam R2 V3.

I'm able to login to it using the local ip address and whatnot. but I can't use the same address for ActionTiles.

So I figured Id try integrating it through iSpy which I read a lot of people were doing with cameras as well. I got the camera integrated into ispy fine, but cant find the IP that software uses to see if that will integrate into ActionTiles.

Can you offer any help of any kind?

Thank

Cristiano

I have Actiontiles working great with the Nest Hello doorbell video streaming in an action tile.   Works on desktops and most tablets, but it is a blank tile on all Fire Tablets.

I even tried developer mode in 5.6.x in FireOS and tested various setting but the tile still does not show up.   I was wanting my doorbell feed to be on my dashboard but this is now a showstopper since i dont want to devote an iPad for the screen.

Please let me know any workarounds!!

Thanks!

Yes, another question about video streams. Apologies, but it's the one thing stopping me from using AT as a panel on an android tablet

I've got a MJPEG stream running for an IP camera.  It's actually an RSTP stream being converted via motionEye on a Pi3, but I'm not sure that's related to the issue.

If I add the MJPEG stream as a tile, everything works fine until I click on the stream to enlarge it.  Once I do that, the stream stops, and closing the enlarged view doesn't restart the smaller view in the tile.  It's just stuck.

I read about Chrome having a hard limit on sockets (https://support.actiontiles.com/communities/12/topics/1295-full-screen-video-stop-popping-up-after-used-once), and there seems to have been a related change in an AT release a while back (https://support.actiontiles.com/communities/12/topics/2040-release-v662-media-tile-video-stream-stability-enhancements) -

close video stream prior to zoom in order to save concurrent sockets

So, I tried Firefox and Edge, and they handle the zoom/close scenario perfectly.  So it does seem to be a Chrome thing.

My aim was to use Fully Browser on an android tablet as a kiosk, but that basically uses Chrome so has the same issue.  I can use firefox on the tablet but I can't come up with a firefoxy-way of running a decent kiosk experience.

does anyone have this camera? And does it work with action tiles?

This is dead simple to setup and works great on tiles.  It let's you stream your computers webcam to a tile.  https://github.com/gen2brain/cam2ip

Works with Linux, raspi, and windows

cam2ip

Turn any webcam into an IP camera.

Example (in web browser):

http://localhost:56000/mjpeg

or

http://localhost:56000/html

I have 3 cams streaming through a TinyCam web server running on a dedicated Galaxy S5.   

The tile is set up as MJPEG video stream using the URL: http://xxxxxxxx:8083/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

I have three cams running on one panel (Security), and a 4th camera running on another panel (Weather).

The tiles run fine for an hour, or two, or more, then randomly they will freeze/stop updating.   A manual refresh of the panel will get them started again.

I'm using two Android tablets.  One is a Nexus 9, and the other is Lenovo Tab 10.  I"m wondering if there is some setting on the tablet I'm missing, or something within ActionTiles?

Thanks for any help/ideas!

Hi all,

In got two Fosacsm 9826p v2 cams. Everything is the same. Howevet, one stream is loaded consistantly while the other sometimes freez or doesnt load.

Is this a camera thing or something I can fix ActionTiles? Both cameras stream correcly when opened in an ipcam app i.e. Owlr ipcam viewer.

Seems like the mjpeg stream of one camera is not being loaded smoothly. I use the chrome and chromium browser on my macbook and rpi.

Any idea?

I’ve been playing with an RPi2 running MotionEye. It works great. I was wondering if anyone has messed with adding a motioneye camera feed to AT.

Does anyone have any experience with Night Owl Cameras.  I would like to add the feed to my Main Panel.  My system is a couple years old, it has cameras that feed into a main hard drive unit that plugs into the wifi and is accessed with a monitor plugged in directly, on my iMac, or my phones.  I know that the feeds are there but can I access them.  If this is real involved, forget it.  

Any feedback will be appreciated.

I'm newbie, first post. Having stability issues with MJPEG video stream on iPhone. Video works fine on Amcrest video app no problem or VLC player but only works randomly via ActionTiles.

sometimes video stream runs perfect then several minutes later the video will stop working for the remainder of the day for seemingly no reason..... not sure if user error or software issue.  

Appreciate any help that can be provided !!!

I've been plagued with issues streaming my cameras for a while now, and every now and then I try to do some more investigation to see what I can come up with.

Today I discovered something about Cache Control, and wanted to know if ActionTiles was configured to present media in a format that blocked caching, so that the loading page would never try to open the file from cache, or even store the file to cache.

I'm no expert, so I apologise if I'm going over ground already covered.

when I "curl" the address of my panel, I don't see the suggested content headers (although I know my curl isn't logged in to the panel)

Cheers,

Adam
