Hi @Kraylon, welcome to the community.
Can you share a bit more information of your setup so we can better help troubleshoot?
Do you mean the Media Tile (camera video stream) in the dashboard works in other browsers on other devices (PC, MAC, phone)? Is your Fire HD8 in the same network as “the other devices” and the TinyCam Pro server? Does the camera stream work if you manually copy & paste the camera mjpg url to the Silk browser?
This is mainly for Chrome browser v85+, so it’s unlikely to be the cause of the issue on your Fire HD8 at this point.
I believe TinyCam uses self-signed certificate when the “Use HTTPS” is checked in TinyCam settings, so the browsers users don’t like that (not secure). So I’d suggest to uncheck this option if the TinyCam server is within your LAN where you have control over/secured.
Did you set the TinyCam webserver’s username and password? and what is the URL you used in the Media resource you used for accessing the cameras? (The URL should look something below where the username and password are attached as URL parameters.
I Uninstaller the silk browser on my fire tablet along with a bunch of other amazon bloat ware, I installed Google play, chrome and other needed Google files, I used automate to do this.
If I enter the web servers ip address into a brower on a different device (smart TV, the fire tablet, a different tablet, laptop and my phone) the tiny cam username and password pops up I log in and I can view my cameras. The media tile is what i can’t get to work in sharptools.
I’ve tried it on chrome, internet explorer and brave browsers where is works using the ip address but nothing changes on sharptools
I did setup a password on tiny cam and have it entered as you listed under the media section on sharptools
I’m also using fully kiosk i followed a video I found on YouTube, but the guy uses wyze and arlo cameras in the video.
If you copy the URL from your Media Resource configuration in SharpTools, then open a new browser window in Incognito/Private mode and paste the URL in there, does the camera stream open directly?
If it prompts you for the username and password, that means something about the username/password configuration isn’t quite right. Or if it doesn’t load at all, something more fundamental is wrong.
The following post also has some helpful tips and screenshots in it:
It might also help to see some screenshots of your TinyCam configuration (like those shown in the linked post). One thing I noticed is that your URL is showing the port as 8443 whereas the standard port in TinyCam is 8083.
Based on your screenshot, it looks like you might be testing on your PC in Chrome. If that’s the case, I’d recommend using the ‘Disable Mixed Content Blocking’ workaround noted in the following post to make it easier to test on your PC:
Again, this will not work in SharpTools on Google Chrome on your PC unless you use the ‘Disable Mixed Content Blocking’ workaround noted in the link above.
I haven’t tried Brave, but other modern browsers may have the same issues as Chrome with blocking mixed content. Note that Brave is built on Chromium (the same underlying project that Chrome is built on), so even if it doesn’t block mixed content in the current build, they might block it in the future.
Keep in mind that the TinyCam numbering of cameras can sometimes be a bit odd, so sometimes you just have to try incremental numbers. (eg. camera=2, camera=3, camera=4) until you find the one you are looking for.
And I haven’t personally tried Eufy Cams in TinyCam, but if it tries to keep the stream open to the battery powered camera all the time, it will likely drain the battery very quickly.
The Eufy 2C is battery powered and depending on which Eufy doorbell model you have, it might be battery powered as well.
Your correct on the 2c my door bell camera is charged off the old doorbell wiring (24 volts a/c) and the driveway camera is power off 120 volts, so they should be up to the task.
I just added all of them and will disable the ones I dont use on the dashboard
We are making progress, its no longer showing me the “failed to load image” but its not showing me a image, I have it set to auto refresh on sharptools in 30 mins, so I’ll wait and see.
Does the tablet with the dashboard need to be on the same network as the web server?
Yes, the device displaying the dashboard needs to be on the same network as the web server (or at least able to access it over the network).
Note that only devices running Chrome 85+ will display the ‘Failed to Load Image’ warning as that’s the primary browser affected by the Mixed Content issues. Other devices will simply fail to display the image.
Am I understanding correctly that you got the cameras displaying in SharpTools on another device (like your PC), but they’re not displaying in SharpTools on the Tablet?
