Looking for some suggestions on how to accomplish something.
I have a number of cameras, and on my interface homepage, I'd like to have a single web image that automatically increments between the six cameras, perhaps once ever 2 seconds ...there isn't enough space on the home page to display all the cameras simultaneously.
A few ideas I had:
1. Use a field based web image widget, and write another driver whose only task is to update a field with the URL every few seconds.
2. Use a timer to accomplish the same thing.
Both seem wasteful, as I don't see a way to reliably start the then stop the events triggering...starting the event triggering is easy on loading the interface viewer, but I don't see a way to reliably stop it.
3. Have another small lightweight external webserver gather and increment the images and then provide a single URL to serve to CQC.
Other ideas?
thanks
