We are currently working on a partner certification process for a facial recognition plugin we have developed for Milestone XProtect.
We need to integrate our solution directly into the Centralized Search tab of the Milestone Smart Client. Our goal is to:
1. Add a dedicated search category/button for our facial recognition engine.
2. Enable the system to perform searches using our plugin’s logic.
3. Display the search results (recognized faces and metadata) directly within the native Milestone search interface.
Could you please provide guidance or links to the relevant documentation regarding:
• Developing a custom Search Agent or Search Provider using the MIP SDK.
• The specific API calls or interfaces required to push third-party search results to the Smart Client UI.
• Any code samples available for metadata-based search integration.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
