Controlling4 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'm trying to setup a button to make the camera's view pop up on a touchscreen. I'm also trying to make the Doorbell cause the camera's view to pop up on all touch screens. I can't seem to find the command or script that would do this.Any Ideas?

dogdvr Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 to have an image show up after the doorbell is pressed you need to go to the agents portion and make sure that you have "announcements" installed as an agent.after that you need to go into programming and choose that after doorbell is pressed select announcement agent.If you need more help please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlling4 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks,I understand completly, however, here's what I'm trying to do.I have a video camera at the front door and it is running on the C4 system. I'd like the video feed to pop up on one or all touch screens when the doorbell is pressed. If I use Announcements it gives me the option to Popup a Text/Image, I just don't know what the address/File/URL of the Video Camera is?The camera is normally found on the touchscreen by presing House/Cameras/Then selecting the appropriate camera. I can then make it full screen if I chose. I'd love for that fullscreen (continuously running) camera view to Popup when the doorbell is pressed. Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 There's no option to get a video feed on the touchpanels today, only a still image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlling4 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ahh,So even though I can currently use the touchscreens to navigate to the camera's video feed I still can't make it a programed response to a button push?Appriciate the quick response.Well, you know what my recommendation is for the next software/firmware update.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
