Integrate IP cameras for live video feeds and map awareness
Hydris can integrate IP cameras to provide live video feeds and visualize camera coverage on the map. Currently, only Reolink cameras are supported.
Auto-Detection
Cameras are automatically discovered on the network when they have ONVIF and Reolink's HTTP API enabled. No manual setup is required beyond enabling those endpoints in the reolink app. Detected cameras appear as entities in Hydris immediately.
Once detected, the camera is placed on the map at 0,0 (null island). You should configure its actual geographic position so it appears in the correct location.
Configuration
To configure a camera, select it in the entity list or on the map and click Configure in the detail panel. This opens the camera configuration with the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Username | Override the username for this camera (leave empty for global default) |
| Password | Override the password for this camera |
| Field of View | Override horizontal field of view in degrees (0–360) |
| Range Min | Blind zone distance in meters |
| Range Max | Maximum detection range in meters |
| Heading | Heading of the base of the camera in degrees from north (0–360) |
| Latitude | Camera latitude (-90–90) |
| Longitude | Camera longitude (-180–180) |
When Field of View, Range, and Heading are either auto detected or configured, the camera displays a detection cone on the map along with a focal point, giving you a visual representation of what the camera is currently looking at.
As a developer, you may also use target poses to make the camera point somewhere else by changing its focal point.
