hmm where do I check that out? All im running is rekor agent.
found it..

had to go to my rekor scout configure and go to Configure > Data Destination > Local Queue > set webservice port and check webservice debug (however, this deregisters your agent with the cloud) so you have to go back in and set it to the cloud by logging in with user and password or register with cloud.

Then I had to port forward on windows defender firewall to access the webserver on other machines on my network.

Yeah, that would be great! I would love to haha I have a weird passion for writing docs
At the bottom of the page there should be a "fork" button to make your own copy of the wiki, you can make your changes there then open a pull request and I'll merge the changes in.

So its working, but no images comes through? im assuming its because I haven't set up camera overlay yet?

I guess the main thing im trying to figure out is what is the ideal setup for this?

Like im running the rekor agent on a windows VM. It sends the data to cloud via logging into my openalpr account on the rekor agent.
-Can I send the data to the cloud and webserver?
- Or do I need to choose webserver as the data destination and just use webhook-proccessor?

the processor needs to be able to access the rekor agent to pull back the images, do you have a firewall or networking problem that is keeping the processor from reaching the rekor agent. Same with the camera overlays, the agent needs to be on the same network as the cameras in order to send the overlay commands.

Does the agent setup pull that or the webhook?

It's pulling new plates that come through (the processor), but no images come through.

And I can't figure out what the cam overlay url. That's the only thing missing from my camera setup.

Does the webhook provide the data or the scrape?

the openalpr processor gets the webhook sent by the cloud. the openalpr processor then calls the agent to get the images when you load them up in your browser.
i don't understand what Does the webhook provide the data or the scrape? means though.

Ah okay. So in order to get my cloud to get 'test successful' from the cloud, I had to port forward and use my public IP..

Is that normal or are people using their local IP? In my case 192.168.1.19:3859

So that means my webhook is working (public IP), but it's not pulling the images from the agent?

if you're getting results showing up in your processor ui that means it can talk to the cloud correctly. you need to get it to talk to the local agent running on your network to get the images. It's the same way the cloud works, it doesn't store images locally, it calls your agent to get them on the fly.

If you are getting it to show ANY images that means it can connect fine and you have another kind of issue with the agent.

My IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E uses the string http://192.168.2.17/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoWidget[0].CustomTitle[1].Text= replace your ip address obviously

You should be able to click Save and then Trigger Overlay for quick testing.

I mean the agent is showing images on my VM. But it's only sending a little to the webserver. It all goes to the cloud
