Access archived databases through SDK

Is it possible to put in the location of an archived database and get access to the footage through the SDK? We’re currently able to access cameras that are in the current database but can’t seem to access footage from databases that can be loaded into the Smart Client.

An end user is having issues as he only has archived databases and when he goes to access the footage from our product it doesn’t see any cameras as there are none currently attached to his live system. But he can view the footage in the Smart Client by opening up the location of the database there.

Is this possible through code?

You can take a look into the Media Playback Viewer sample, it shows how to open a database storage.

I’ll have a look at that, thanks.
