IP Cameras Input

This submenu is available on some Windows platforms, for IP cameras using the ONVIF protocol for automatic discovery in a local network, and using the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) protocol for streaming. - A recent version of the FFMPEG program must be installed and globally accessible on the system. - PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) command support is not mandatory, but PTZ commands can be sent by the application. - If there is no information saved or if you want to update the saved information, you must perform the following operations successively: - Press the Discover button, to discover the cameras. This may take a few seconds. - Fill in the username and password fields for each camera found. - Press the Connect button, to find and display the URLs of the audio and video streams. - Press the "Start Streams" button, to start streaming the streams. - Press the "Stop Streams" button, to stop streaming the streams. - When streaming, you can play the SameGame game (132 cubes, the cubes do not fall, but the edges become black). - You can also start the visualization without game with different numbers of cubes (for example: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 132 cubes). - A video stream is assigned to each cube. If there are not enough cameras, the streams are repeated so that all cubes have a stream to display. - After choosing a camera (element 0, game or animation), by selecting the element 10 (PTZ), you can send PTZ commands to it (directional keys, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN). - By selecting the element 1 (SameGame cubes), you can move or enlarge the cubes containing the video streams. - You can use the motion detection option to only display images in case of movement. - The theoretical maximum is set to 132 cameras. - A demo version only allows two cameras. The word "Demo" can be displayed in the video streams.

The "IP Cameras Input" option is compatible with existing games, by choosing a main camera. The Streams must be stopped, after being activated at least once. - The first camera with a stream entered is chosen as the main camera. You can also choose another camera by entering and saving the "Main IP Address" field. - During the different games offered by the application, you can choose to use the video stream of the main camera as a texture for the main cube of the game. - By selecting the element 2 (main image), you can move or enlarge the main cube (directional keys, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN), set it in motion or stop it (SPACE key). - With this option, if you play an AFrame or Three game with Carousel, a maximum of video streams are taken into account. - If you choose or force a game with the IP Camera Input, the video stream of the main camera is used as a panorama for the game. - The VR and AR options remain available, as well as the settings "Opaque Zone Shape", "Use Color Mixing", ... - You can thus play while monitoring the video stream of the main camera.
