ICRealtime Dynamic Text Overlay For A Yacht

[coleman1223]

Good day Gents,

Looking to see if anyone can assist me in a project.

I'm the captain of a yacht and I'm looking to see how I could incorporate some Nmea0183 or Nmea2000 data that is accessible on the LAN and display it in text as a text overlay on some of our exterior IP Cameras. Items that I would like to show would include, GPS Speed, GPS Heading, GPS Coordinates, Wind Speed, Wind Direction (or Wind Angle) and depth.

Is it possible ? Our primary fwd visble light camera is a ICREALTIME IPFX-P4032X-IRW1 (see attached screenshot).

Thank you in advance,

Try running this API to get the current video widgets.
http://192.168.1.108/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=VideoWidget
Search through the response (search tool in browser) for your camera's custom title text of "M/Y Kemosabe".
This API returns all attributes of widget overlays, e.g. channel text, custom text, colors, font sizes, etc.

To set the custom text overlay (what you have currently set as "M/Y Kemosabe").
http://192.168.1.108/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoWidget[0].CustomTitle[1].Text=M/Y%20Kemosabe
'%20' is a space.
There is a way to do up to 5 lines in custom text.... I'm digging through trying to workout how.


videoWidget is page 81 of Dahua API 3.37.
IC Realtime is a Dahua OEM.

You could also try using @bp2008's JsonDataExtractor with a NEMA API to dynamically populate text files with the data of interest. Then use Blue Iris video overlays with macros pointed to these text files (example).
