Some advance features ?
Dear friends,
Need to check.
- Can we showcase live GPS location and data in power BI
- Can we showcase live CCTV feed into power BI
- Can we put comments on visuals which can we referred by other users ?
Any quick response or workaround those features would be appriciated ?
Hi msofficesolutio,
Power bi can't access GPS device directly, as a workaround, you can use R script instead. About how to read and display data from GPS devices using R, please refer to this article.
Power bi supports rest api and odata feed connection. Please refer to odata feed and rest api. So if CCTV feed is a kind if restful api or odata feed, you can connect content in power bi. In addtion, power bi also support streaming dataset which can let user see the live data in a dashboard.
Dashboard in power bi service support comments, please refer to this announcement.
