CameraPanel

A real-time view of a camera or grid of cameras. Unlike the camera object, camerapanel has two operating modes: live and playback. It includes a panel that allows access to various functions:

• motions' list: a list of all the motions
• live mode:
  • play last motion
  • PTZ functions: zoom (in, out), pan (up, right, down, left), enlarge, show all, stop
  • cycle mode: cycles through all the cameras (or the cameras specified in the camera list parameter). Stops on a camera if there's a motion being recorded
• playback mode
  • playback controls: play/pause, previous/next motion
  • motion progress bar
  • send screenshot to an email address: sends the current frame to the specified address
  • download video: generates and download an MPEG-4 video that includes all the frames from the currently shown one to the last one of the current motion
  • exit playback mode

While in playback mode, hovering the mouse cursor on the lower part of the image (or touching and dragging if using a touch-enabled device) will show a preview of the corresponding frame. Clicking the upper part of the image will toggle back to live mode.

Parameters

• id: the object's ID, used by UISets
• address: the name of the camera, as in the Cameras parameter in hsyco.ini, or the name of a camera grid, defined as gridN, where N is the grid number assigned in hsyco.ini
• position: the object's position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format
• size: the camera image's width and height
• camera list: optional. If defined, it limits the cameras you can view from this

panel when cycling between cameras (clicking on the camera name, or the camera view), to those listed here

Syntax

(camerapanel[!<id>] <address>; <position>; <width>; <height>; <camera list>)

E.g.

(camerapanel!cam1 livingroom; x3y0; 520; 283)
