Camera without printer

vstach

I have several printers connected to the repetier-server, and in addition to the camera for each printer, I also have an "overview" camera installed (and a camera for the SLA printer). I would also like to have these cameras in the repetier server. Is there any way to view the camera without assigning it to a specific printer?

Alternatively, I can think of the possibility of installing a "dummy" printer, but unfortunately the repetier will not display the image if the printer is offline. Is there any way around it?

Thanks in advance for the ideas...

Not as you think but 2 solutions:
1. Dummy printer - user serial and select serial cartesian as port which is a virtual printer for testing. So this can be active.
2. Printers can have multiple cameras (pro version) so assign all printers a second camera. It always starts with cam 1 but clicking on camera image switches between available webcams. It is ok if multiple printers share same webcam so no problem here.

Great!
Multiple cameras i use and for overview cam it was "last choice"...
VirtualCartesian serial port is a good solution.
Thanks.
