Hope everyone is staying safe. I have an ip camera that I am connected to in perspective using IFrame. It works great except it isnt live. I need it to refresh or maybe just use a different component to look at it? I use the same url in a vision project using the ip camera component and of course that is live. I am grabbing the jpeg stills. Any help is appreciated ---

Try adding a nonsense query parameter that’s bound to `now()`; something like: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/a/aa3e501408afe9de0a7bce4ede0eaf7a3ef665cb.png) ---

When I do that it adds the time to the url and gives me an "Auth Failed" Original URL: [http://redacted:8088/system/urlproxy?url=http://192.168.4.4/cgi-bin/video.cgi?mode=1%26auth\_64=YWRtaW46MTIzNA==](http://redacted:8088/system/urlproxy?url=http://192.168.4.4/cgi-bin/video.cgi?mode=1%26auth_64=YWRtaW46MTIzNA==) With poll added: [http://redacted:8088/system/urlproxy?url=http://192.168.4.4/cgi-bin/video.cgi?mode=1%26auth\_64=YWRtaW46MTIzNA==1586366523477](http://redacted:8088/system/urlproxy?url=http://192.168.4.4/cgi-bin/video.cgi?mode=1%26auth_64=YWRtaW46MTIzNA==1586366523477) ---

Separate your URL parameters; it's being double-encoded to go through the Vision URL proxy, but you want your output to be something like: `http://redacted:8088/system/urlproxy?url=http://192.168.4.4/cgi-bin/video.cgi?mode=1%26auth_64=YWRtaW46MTIzNA==%26t=1586366523477` ---
