# Connect a camera
|
|
|
|
A camera can be connected to an {abbr}`IoT (Internet of Things)` box with an Odoo database in just a
|
|
few steps. Once a camera is connected to an {abbr}`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, it can be used in
|
|
a manufacturing process, or it can be linked to a quality control point/quality check. Doing so
|
|
allows for the taking of pictures when a chosen quality control point/check has been reached, or
|
|
when a specific key is pressed during manufacturing.
|
|
|
|
## Connection
|
|
|
|
To connect a camera to an {abbr}`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, simply connect the two via cable.
|
|
This is usually done with a {abbr}`USB (Universal Serial Bus)` cable of some sort.
|
|
|
|
If the camera is [supported](https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware), there is no need to set up
|
|
anything, as it'll be detected as soon as it's connected.

## Link camera to quality control point in manufacturing process
|
|
|
|
In the {menuselection}`Quality app`, a device can be set up on a {guilabel}`Quality Control Point`.
|
|
To do that, navigate to the {menuselection}`Quality app --> Quality Control --> Control Points` and
|
|
open the desired {guilabel}`Control Point` that'll be linked to the camera.
|
|
|
|
On the control point form, edit the control point by selecting the {guilabel}`Type` field, and
|
|
clicking on {guilabel}`Take a Picture` from the drop-down menu. Doing so reveals a field called
|
|
{guilabel}`Device`, wherein the attached *device* can be selected. {guilabel}`Save` the changes, if
|
|
required.
|
|
|
|

|

:alt: Setting up the device on the quality control point.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The camera is now useable with the selected quality control point. When the quality control point
|
|
is reached during the manufacturing process, the database prompts the operator to take a picture.
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::{note}
|
|
Quality control points can also be accessed by navigating to {menuselection}`IoT App -->
|
|
Devices`. From here, select the device. There is a {guilabel}`Quality Control Points` tab, where
|
|
they can be added with the device.

|
|
|
|
:::{tip}
|
|
On a quality check form, the {guilabel}`Type` of check can also be specified to {guilabel}`Take a
|
|
Picture`. Navigate to {menuselection}`Quality app --> Quality Control --> Quality Checks --> New`
|
|
to create a new quality check from the {guilabel}`Quality Checks` page.

## Link camera to a work center in the Manufacturing app
|
|
|
|
To link a camera to an action, it first needs to be configured on a work center. Navigate to
|
|
{menuselection}`Manufacturing app --> Configuration --> Work Centers`. Next, go to the desired
|
|
{guilabel}`Work Center` in which a camera will be used to reveal that specific work center's detail
|
|
form. From here, add the device in the {guilabel}`IoT Triggers` tab, in the {guilabel}`Device`
|
|
column, by clicking {guilabel}`Add a Line`.
|
|
|
|
Now, the camera device can be linked to the {guilabel}`Action` column drop-down option labeled
|
|
{guilabel}`Take a Picture`. A key can also be added to trigger the action.
|
|
|
|
:::{important}
|
|
The first trigger listed is chosen first. The order of triggers matters, and they can be dragged
|
|
into any desired order.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
:::{note}
|
|
On the {guilabel}`Work Order` screen, a status graphic indicates whether the database is
|
|
correctly connected to the camera.
