Custom Web Control

About Camera Viewer Pro

Camera Viewer Pro is a high-performance industrial Custom Web Control designed to bring real-time visual monitoring directly into your HMI environment. It solves the challenge of integrating external video streams with native UI elements, providing a professional overlay system for status monitoring and control. The control features a polished industrial aesthetic, complete with a top navigation bar, a blinking showLiveIndicator, and a dynamic status badge that provides immediate feedback on the connection state.

Key Features

• Dynamic Stream Management: Effortlessly switch between video sources using the setUrl method or the integrated configuration drawer.
• Integrated Diagnostics: The control provides real-time feedback through statusConnectingText, statusLiveText, and statusErrorText, ensuring operators are never left guessing about stream health.
• Granular Security: Built-in WinCC Unified authorization checks, such as authorizationSettings and authorizationSnapshot, ensure only authorized personnel can modify configurations or capture sensitive media.
• Snapshot Capability: High-resolution frame capture can be triggered via the takeSnapshot method, firing a SnapshotTaken event for logging or quality documentation.

Customization

Engineers can tailor the viewer to any branding requirement. Use backgroundColor to match your dashboard theme and titleText to identify specific plant zones. Visibility toggles like showStatusBadge and showSnapshotBtn allow you to declutter the interface for high-density displays. Additionally, the placeholderText property ensures a professional appearance even when the camera is inactive or offline.

Use Cases

• Hazardous Zone Monitoring: Observe high-risk areas where physical presence is restricted, using the liveLabel to confirm real-time feedback.
• Quality Evidence Logging: Use the SnapshotTaken event to automatically archive visual evidence of production batches during quality gates.
• Facility Security: Monitor entry points with dynamic URL switching driven by PLC alarm triggers.

Compatibility

This control is fully optimized for WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. It supports seamless PLC tag binding for all properties, allowing for dynamic camera switching and status updates driven directly by your automation logic.
