You’ll need to get an output from TinyCam in a supported format like image snapshots or MJPEG.

The main article covering all the high-level details about displaying cameras - with links to other detailed articles - is here:

How do I add video / images to a SharpTools dashboard? - SharpTools Knowledge...

In particular, the above article links to the following community discussion about sourcing camera feeds from TinyCam which has important details about URL formats, how to test, using appropriate username/password formats (if applicable), and disabling the ‘Use HTTPS’ in TinyCam as it uses an invalid cert.

Media and Thermostats

You can stream certain video types to a SharpTools Media Tile. Here’s a knowledge base article on how to use the Media Tile feature of SharpTools: Using the TinyCam app on an Android device or Fire OS device, you can stream your Wyze cameras or other cameras to your SharpTools dashboards. Be sure to check out the videos linked below; the high-level steps include: Add your Wyze Cam in TinyCam Setup the TinyCam webserver Use the following format for the URL in the SharpTools Media Tile: http:…

Ever since Josh got me focused on using TinyCam I haven’t had any issues except the tablet that runs TinyCam will sometimes go to sleep or off-line even though all the settings tell it to stay awake.
