I have the need to embed web pages into a Perspective page, potentially using the View Canvas component. My company uses vision cameras quite frequently & all I'm trying to do is display the live feed from each camera's web server. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Also... We only use Perspective applications. No Vision applications.
Your option is the iframe component. Different 'user agents' (web browsers) on different devices have varying degrees of security, but practically speaking all of them with support for the browser APIs Perspective relies on will adhere to Content Security Policies sent with the "wrapped" frame. Meaning, not every arbitrary page can be embedded inside of an iframe, and it's up to the inner page whether it can be or not.
Also, standard concerns about network visibility apply. Perspective doesn't have any way to "tunnel" an internal-network-only IP cam to make it visible to an external-network device running your Perspective session.
I missed that one recently as well... maybe they want to call it the "Inline Frame (iFrame)" component. This component is also the fourth result when searching "iframe" in the new docs when it should probably be first.
