[Feature Request] [v1.5.6-alpha] GUI option to view an external camera video

Open n3gwg opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

It could be useful to plug an external camera (to see the server rack area) into the BliKVM, can an option be added to support showing the video from such an external camera?

Great suggestion, we will consider it. A USB camera, maybe.

I was entirely thinking of a USB camera! Perhaps a common type that would be easily supportable and inexpensive.

I am not trying to take live video of atoms moving about, just want to see my rack or some status lights on other items in the rack, that sort of thing.

You might even be able to recommend a few cameras with affiliate links where you make a bit on each camera sale. I am not sure if any cameras are easily rack mountable but I am sure 3D printable parts that could that are abound.

We will add this feature in future versions.
