Nico, Thank you for the video! If you have several cameras connected to an NVR do you have to separate them into individual function blocks, or can they all be on one function block? Does the processing speed of the PC or raspberry matter for speed of transfer of video?
You're welcome 😉 Each camera needs a separate function block, unless you can get the stream from the NVR directly in MJPEG over basic auth/basic digest. Processing speed should be just enough to stream in the selected quality so not much
Great! one question, since it's also possible to take "pictures" from the video using the bell functionality, are the images taken saved into the miniserver's sd card? How can i have access to them? (As of now, i can only see them in the app)
Thank you! As far as I know if you have a Loxone Intercom it will save them on the Intercoms MicroSD card and there isn't a command to pull them from it. However,you can put the stream into an NVR and save it there.
Hello Nico, thank you for this detailed video. For my part, IP cameras only seem to broadcast in H265. Do you think there is a way to retrieve this stream from the mini server without having to use the application developed by Andrew, directly without leaving a PC on permanent standby?Thank you in advance for your help
Good question, as far as I'm aware the Miniserver only supports MJPEG sub streams and for conversions we need a "middle man" running or a pc or raspberry/node red etc
Just curious if you would be interested in helping with some complex programming remotely for a fee? you seem too have a large knowledge of the product. i have a project coming with some pretty unique requests.
👍

@@theautomationgym Thank you Niko! I'm new to Loxone and trying to learn as much as possible. Your channel is very helpful. Please keep it up.

Can you use this if you have more than one camera?
Yes, but you can only view 1 camera/stream at the time. They will be a separate function block in config and the app.

I'm always curious, so feel free to pop an email:
