vleen Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 In my home I have 3 touchscreens (10" T4 In-Wall Touchscreen C4-T4IW10) in separate rooms. I programmed them to navigate to the front door camera stream using a Navigation Agent when my Control4 Chime registers motion activity. Only thing is that 2 of the 3 screens perfectly jump to the camera stream, while the last screen jumps but doesn't load the stream. Instead it shows an icon of a striked through camera. Odd thing is that it will only load the stream via navigation jump if I manually navigated to the camera within 5 minutes (or so) beforehand. Only when the screen is left alone for a while it will never load the camera stream correctly when the navigation agent asks to do so. I've rebooted the unit several times, and I've rebooted the whole control4 system too so I'm running out of ideas. What could this be?

South Africa C4 user Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Have you tried jumping to the camera on one navigator at a time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have and unfortunately no result. I even added some delay between the jumps just to rule anything out. Also the order does not matter, it's always the same touchscreen that's faulty (Touchpanel Keuken). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vleen Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 And just to clarify: when someone presses the doorbell on my Chime, the stream comes up perfectly on the same touchscreen. It's just when it's prompted to jump to the camera using the navigation agent where it behaves faulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my HIK cameras only support 6 due to processing limits (for the individually-negotiated connections C4 devices use, in my case). That said, since I've been on 3.3.1 all kinds of programming/agents have been buggy, and I had to delete and re-add the (same) navigation programming to get those working again.

I’m not sure, but it won’t prompt on this one specific touchscreen regardless of how many touchscreens are asked to do so. Even if I only prompt that one it won’t come up so I guess that doesn’t play a role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dueport Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I've had similar reliability issues trying to do something similar to you (display camera on multiple TSs at the same time - in my case between 5-7 TSs both wireless and wired) based on vehicle detection trigger. The trigger works perfectly but sometimes the camera image displays on all and sometimes some and sometimes none. I'm still trying to determine if this has to do with the camera driver or the agent so haven't isolated the problem myself......hoping this camera agent is improved in the next update to include snapshots from a different location so the unifi camera drivers can support that directly in the future - and address bugs (if this is a bug) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Alot of the time when you get no video it has to do with video resolution bit rate and frame rate. Try lowering all of these a bit at a time and see if it becomes more reliable. Otherwise you need to have someone look at the logs to find out why it is failing.

I've lowered the bit rate and frame rate but with no success. The other two touchscreens are fine though. Do you know what category logs I would have to look at? I can see in the director logs that the command is sent to every touchscreen but I don't see any errors pop up there. Where would I find these error logs?

Matt Lowe Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 you would need to check out the device logs for the device effected. sorry can't be more helpful than that and even then i would likely not be able to decipher alot of the debug is like reading another language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that makes sense, can I update it myself (with CHE?) or is that something only my dealer can do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vleen Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 One thing I noticed by the way, I thought I had three 10" screens, but I only noticed today that two of them are 8" and one is 10". And coincidentally the only screen that's faulty is the one 10" screen... So I have two C4-T4IW8 that work perfectly fine, and one C4-T4IW10 that appears to have problems with the camera stream. Could this then be a software issue that's related to the specific hardware installed? So for other 8" screens there wouldn't be a problem, only for the 10" screens?

vleen Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 In the meantime my dealer has updated my OS to 3.3.1 The touchscreens, however, my dealers says this is the latest software. They have updated from version 628678-res to 639488-res. But the my dealer says the touchscreens won’t update past 322.43.0.10 so I’m kind of lost here… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, I am fully up to date and my software is identical to what you have here… That said, your dealer should be able to sort this (with help from tech support).
