Properties

Property	Value
`source_type`	Type of video source : `stream` or `camera` Note: Console provides a way to select from amongst IP Camera Streams, RTSP Streams and USB Cameras and populates source type and source id only when you deploy a Pipeline. This property is not available in the Pipeline node editor. Source type Camera is only used for usb cameras.
`source_id`	UUID of the source to use (Stream ID or Camera ID) Note: Console provides a way to select from amongst IP Camera Streams, RTSP Streams and USB Cameras and populates source type and source id only when you deploy a Pipeline. This property is not available in the Pipeline node editor.
