Sign in on a second Mac or PC and it now shows your shops. Before this it
showedengine not reachable at http://127.0.0.1:8010and 0 of 0 cameras,
on an account whose shops were running and recognising people the whole time.Nothing had been broken. The Live and Cameras screens read only the recognition
engine on that computer's own loopback, so a laptop with no engine answered as
though nobody had signed in — and the camera list comes through the engine,
which is why the count was zero rather than merely stale.Having no engine is a normal state. A shop PC watches cameras; an owner's
laptop, a manager's machine and a till still being set up do not, and all three
sign in to the same estate.What you get on a computer with no engine
- Live — arrivals from every shop, with the customer reference, the camera
and the shop, plus cameras up and the recognition-health figure across the
estate. A banner says you are viewing your shops from here rather than
watching cameras on this computer. - Cameras — every camera in every shop, with its connection state and the
most recent picture the shop computer sent. Edit, Remove and Check placement
are not offered: those talk to a camera on a network this computer cannot
reach, and a button that cannot work is worse than one that is absent. - Customers — unchanged; it always came from head office.
A shop PC is unaffected. Loopback is still tried first, so a computer that is
watching cameras shows its own live numbers, never a minute-old summary.Details worth knowing
- The recognition-health figure is the worst shop, not an average. 0.10
against 0.73 averages to 0.42 and hides the only shop anyone needs to visit. - A camera nobody has reported on yet says Waiting for the shop computer,
which is a different thing from Not connecting and needs a different
response. - The camera picture is the last frame the shop computer sent, not live
video. Live video from another network is a separate piece of work — the
shop PC sits behind a router with no way in, and head office's relay is what
answers that.
