Summary

This article shows admins how to stream a webcam that Gingr does not integrate with. You paste the HTML embed code into the HTML Webcams option under Admin » Webcams.

Important: This method supports public camera views only. It does not support lodging-specific camera assignments. Those are available only through our integrated providers (iDogCam, abcKam, or PB&J TV).

Warning: Our support team cannot help you set up or troubleshoot HTML webcams, because they use third-party embed codes. For full functionality and support, use one of our integrated webcam providers.

Steps

Set Up HTML Webcams

1. Go to Admin » Webcams.

2. Paste your HTML embed code into the HTML Webcams Page field.

   

3. Add a message to show above the video feed. This step is optional. Use it for viewing instructions or a friendly note for pet parents.

4. Save your changes. The feed appears under the Webcams tab in the Customer Portal. Who can see it follows your public webcam settings.

Restrict Public Camera Access to Owners with Checked-In Pets

By default, every pet parent logged in to the Customer Portal can view your public cameras, even if their pet is not checked in. You can limit access to pet parents with a pet checked in.

1. Go to Admin » Webcams.

2. Find the Public Cameras Only Checked In setting.

3. Turn the setting on. Only pet parents with a pet currently checked in at that location can view the webcams.
