I have a CCTV camera, and I want to display the live video from that camera on my Node-RED workspace, not on the dashboard. Is there any way I can do this?
What do you mean by this?
Are you using a Dashboard (D1 or D2?) or UIBUILDER? I'm assuming that by "workspace", you mean that you want to display it to a user in a browser tab.
Do you mean you want to display it in the node red flow editor?
yes on the editor
yes on the editor of node red
The editor is not a dashboard.
At best you could use the node-red-contrib-image-tools node which can display images in the editor, but that is for single images, you could capture a still image every x seconds and display it, don't expect your editor performance to increase.
why, may i ask ?
for a task
I alerady did it by creating a custom node.
Share it then, others may find it useful
