Overlays on webcam?

Configuration
1

Hello,
I was wondering if there’s a way to overlay sensor values onto webcam images? For example, I’m using IPCamviewer to display kids room webcams. Can I overlay my mqtt sensors on top of these images somehow?

I’ve set up motioneye and with an automation I add a overlay to the camera.
Then in tinycampro I can see the temp overlayed.

Thanks. I am using Motion for one of the cameras. How did you add the automation to add the overlay to the camera? Is that part of Motion, or is it a home assistant thing?

shell command:

shell_command:
  cam_update: >-
         curl http://10.0.1.59:7999/{{cam_id}}/config/set?text_left="{{cam_text}}"

automation:

alias: update camera 1 temp
trigger:
  - platform: time
    minutes: '/2'
    seconds: 50
action:
  service: shell_command.cam_update
  data_template:
      cam_text: >-
          Temp:{{ states("sensor.temperature_2") | round(0) }}c
      cam_id: 1

You need to allow access to the motion api port in the motion config file.
