Camera feed doesn't work in media tile

Edit: So I’ve found that supposedly the Unifi cameras use port 80. However, trying to obtain a snapshot using camera.ip.st-ip.net:80/snap.jpeg still doesn’t seem to work.

Does that work when you enter that exact same URL directly into a browser like Chrome? Is the full URL:

http://camera.ip.st-ip.net/snap.jpeg 

(port 80 is automatically implied with http://)

Fire HD 8 tablet with Wallboard. I followed some instructions on how to set this up using the camera’s IP address. If I type the camer-ip-address/snap.jpeg in Chrome it displayed the snap just fine. Doing the same in the media tile doesn’t display the image.

Just to be clear, I’m suggesting that you test the camera.ip.st-ip.net URL directly in Chrome, then test that same camera.ip.st-ip.net URL in a media tile in Chrome. Of course, that instance of Chrome will require the Mixed Content settings adjusted as discussed previously.

I would suggest starting your tests from a computer where it’s easier to make a blanket allowance for insecure embedding for all of sharptools.io (compared to Chrome on mobile which requires an allowance per ‘origin’ of each camera).

Then I would recommend testing in Fully Kiosk Browser as the settings for allowing Mixed Content is documented and well tested by the community.
