Buddy3D MK4s setup.

hello,

I have recently received & built up my MK4S printer bought on Black Friday. I am having problems with the Buddy3D camera operation.
I have performed all the steps and do have a feed (Kinda) from the camera.
I cannot find any settings for the camera to change the Pan & Tilt (for setup it's pointed up at a 45 degree angle to scan QR Code)
On both the app and the web UI all I get is a display of random snapshots from the camera.  No video just Snap shots.
Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance

Thank you for the prompt response.  It kinda sux that the camera was included in the Black Friday bundle implying you could use it to monitor your prints.
 I have been running my old Creality CR-10s using Octopi for the last 7 yrs with video feeds.  Is there anyway to integrate Octopi to the MK4S & Prusa universe?
If so could you be so kind as to point me in that direction .   Link if possible.  
Once again thank you for the response.

RE: Buddy3D MK4s setup.

AFAIR pan&tilt are not implemented yet, same as video stream.
Also on PrusaConnect images are published and presented only if the 3d printer is connected and online, and thus snapshots sent by cameras are available.

 

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

You're not missing anything. No video in PrusaConnect, just snapshots. I ended up un-installing all the ESP32cams I had added and went back to my trusted Wyze cameras for continuous monitoring.
