Dashticz IP Cameras - Features, Fixes & Updates

[Caminada]

Really like the camera blocks.

Struggling with the 'slidedelay' in the settings.
Slidedelay seems to be working fine when using Dashticz on a windows system browser.

When using Dashticz on my iPad the slidedelay function seems to be ignored. The slide function is always active.

Is that because of the touchscreen?

Hi all

I have 2 Foscam cameras (FI9900P).
In domoticz i can view them both.
I use this command http://192.168.x.x:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy. ... &pwd=xxxxx
For 1 camara I have a picture in Dashticz, for the other one not.
in the console I get this for that camera:

There are 2 question marks in the request url. That won't work.

How did you define your blocks?

Hi Lokonli,

My block for the camera's:

Code: Select all

blocks["cameras"] = {
        type: "camera",
        cameras: [
                {
                        title: "Camera Achter",
                        imageUrl: "http://192.168.2.4:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=xxxxx&pwd=xxxxx",
                },
                {
                        title: "Camera Voor",
                        imageUrl: "http://192.168.2.2:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=xx&pwd=xxxxx",
                },
        ],
        width: 9,
        height: 250,
        refresh: 0.5,
        traytimeout: 3,
        slidedelay: 3,
        forcerefresh: 1,
};

This is the result:

Hi Lokonli,

You need to remove your username & password

[JuanUil]

did so and also corrected the url for camera achter.
tried the other url yesterday but also with no succes.

I was refering to you post only, becasue this mentioned your username & password for the whole world

[JuanUil]

Thank you

[JuanUil]

Found it!!!

I installed Ispy and found out that there are 2 commands for these camera's.
One is as I programmed in my block and works for 1 camera.
The other one is the same url but with an & at the end.
This one works for both cameras.

anyway thank you for the help.

I fixed my entering username/pwd problem by adding two dials...
After clicking the dial, you can enter the u/p. After that it works perfect...

The camera block works nicely, but I found that I can specify height, but that is in pixels (and default to 300 if not set) and the width is set in 'blocks' (12 in my case where I have 2 '12' wide columns, so 24 columns on screen).

Works fine for 1 screen (lo-res) as I can specify the height in relation to the 'relative' width (original is 1920x1080, but in my small 800x480px screen -> nicely resized to 384 pixels -> so height has to be set to 216).

But when I view this on a larger (laptop/IPad/etc) screen, the width of 12 is nicely adjusted (so on my 1920x1200 monitor -> the same image is 936px wide) but the height is 'stuck' on 216

I would prefer to keep aspect ratio in tact so a height of '100%' for the image would be great. But that is not an acceptable value for Dashticz Camera block (at the moment).

Any suggestions (not a Javascript whiz, so better to ask than spend to much time trying to figure it out ) ?

You can load Dashticz with a different config file on a different device, as explained here:
https://dashticz.readthedocs.io/en/mast ... ation.html
(look for "Dashticz URL parameters")
I use a different config file (folder actually) on my iPad, so I can completely customize the Dashticz for my iPad and my Laptop/Desktop

[kiddigital]

Thx, did not know that.

Is indeed an option but also overkill for this case as there is only 1 attribute that is different.
I could opt to use the loading of a second config where it just overrides the camera block with this one attribute.

But if I could set it to ‘auto’ it works always. Also on ‘new’ devices that do not have there own config (addition).

Hi guys,
I really enjoy this module for the cameras, nice work

I have a question for you guy and a feature request:

1/ I have 4 cameras, and I wanted to see on my dashboard 3 little blocks (for 3 main cams), and my 4 cams in fullscreen on a specific page.
So I had no other way than create two blocks of cameras:
- first_block with 3 cameras: "cam1,cam2,cam3" with tiny specific dimensions width+height
- second_block with 4 cameras: still the "cam1,cam2,cam3" + "cam4" with specific dimensions width+height to have the 4 cams in fullscreen
Is it possible to create 4 separate blocks of cams, and be able to display them to a specific dimensions in the columns?

2/
Could it be possible to exclude some cameras from the carousel previews? cause with my config, I can see 3+4=7 cameras

Thanks for your help

I also have the same problems as others have mentioned:

When using the internet Domoticz Camera URL's Domoticz gets extremely slow. So its works but its not workable. The advantage is you don't have to authenticate to your camera. I can't disable the camera's authentication because its also connected to the internet.

It would be nice if it was possible to give the username or password in a way. I use a Axis ML3106-LVE camera and can't find an URL to use to get the Auth parameters in the same link: http://192.168.1.2/jpg/image.jpg?size=3 (before: http://user:[email protected]/jpg/image.jpg?size=3)

Also tested the use of HTTPS that's sometimes works but not in Dashticz.

So using the Domoticz URL for Camera makes everything slow.

Does anybody have the slow performance from Domoticz and Dashticz when using the Domoticz Camera URL's.
When the camera links are disabled everything is working fast. But when they are enabled after en little while Dashticz refreshes very slow and Domoticz is not responding.

I have this situation now on two different location (work and home).

Work: Domoticz 2020.2 on Virtual Dietpi with Dashticz. Using two camera's with 5 sec refresh time. Dashticz viewing on a RaspberryPi and a PC.
Home: Domoticz 2020.2 on Virtual Dietpi, Dashticz on different Virtual Dietpi. Using one camera 1 sec refresh time. Dashticz viewing on a tablet.

I notice at home when opening dashticz on a Computer the slow down kicks in. When only using the tablet its fine.

Hope someone can help.
Greetings.

I also have one RTSP camera which I’ve added to zoneminder. Zoneminder converts it to mjpeg stream and I’ve added that stream to both domoticz as well as dashticz.
Works great!

How did you do ?
I can't do it!
How to convert ?

[Derik]

Some one has a live youtube stream, or a live earth cam stream working, in Dashticz?
Try some sniffers, and different streams... Only no luck @ al..

[houk]

In chrome one of camera stopped working in dashticz and i see this in console

Subresource requests whose URLs contain embedded credentials (e.g. `https://user:pass@host/`) are blocked. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5669008342777856 for more details.

Any idea how to bypass this?

[Lokonli]

It's a limitation of Chrome.
Maybe I know a work-around. I'll make a new Dashticz beta version within the next few days.

[nfuse]

maybe mentioned in this thread allready but all my problems went away when i started using motioneye you can set anything from passwords, frame-rate resolution etc and best of all it is free.
