Frame URL returns error

[Hennie_Kotze]

Good Day,

I have recently installed the scheme extra components, and while testing it out I ran into small problem….

I try to add a simple URL into a new frame (http://www.google.co.za), but when I run the webstation application the result in the frame says “www.google.co.za refused to connect”.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

I also try to open a picture in the frame located on my hard drive, but that URL also returns the same error.

Regards,

Hi,

Many websites do not allow open them from frames.
Try https://rapidscada.org/ instead of Google.

Thanks,

https://rapidscada.org/ is working perfectly.

Do you have any notes on requirements for URL’s to see camera feeds? Will RTSP stream URL’s work or not?

Regards,

[Mikhail]

It’s possible to achieve this

Please translate this topic for the details.

The idea is using special software to convert RSTP to a web video stream.

Dear Mr. Mikhail,
I am interested in your configure

I have been reading this topic in Russian but did not understand.
Which camera model do you use? Can the IP Yoosee camera use?
Could you show me a step-by-step to configure it?
Thanks and best regards

Hello,

The customer uses cameras that provide video in the RTSP format.
RTSP is not supported by web browsers directly. Therefore the customer uses Unreal Media Server to convert video streams into a HTML5 friendly format.

Many cameras support HTML video out of the box. I cannot provide particular camera model, because there are thousands of cameras on the market. A camera’s manual should say that it can display video in browser.

Dear Mr. Mikhail,
Thank you for your repply. I will test it with Unreal Media server
Thanks again.

Hello,
Please let the community know about the result.
If you have not purchased cameras, you could choose a camera model that provides video for web.

Hi Mikhail,
I have a camera that can be live viewed in webpage.

Its local address is 172.20.41.14

i tried the configuration below on dashboard:

widget type=”CustomUrl” url=”172.20.41.14/embed”/>

but on the webstation, nothing displays .
I tried with other youtube url, it worked.

any thoughts ?

Hi,
May be scheme is missed in the URL.

[Mikhail]

I mean http://

[Bang]

I tried adding http://, the thing is cctv webserver only works on Internet Explorer. I tried having IE extension on Chrome and replacing URL with that of the Chrome opening the IE tab with the Webserver URL.
Kind of saw it coming, does not work.

I’m currently trying to access CCTV’s dvr through cloud, will update when it’ll work but reluctant to proceed with this since it will be dependent on internet connection.

If you can offer other alternatives, that will be much appreciated.

IE is too old and deprecated. IE was removed in Windows 11.
Dashboard plugin creates a frame element on a web page. So the tasks are:
1. Make video run by URL in a new Chrome tab.
2. Make video run in a frame.

What is displayed if you simply copy video URL in Chrome tab?
Check the camera manual. Some cameras can provide video on its webpage and RTSP. What protocols are supported by your camera?
