Analytics Events

Can someone please explain to me the meaning of footnote 5 on the “Third-party application integration and support for video analytics” line of the “Comparison Chart” document?

Is it possible to send analytical events to all types of servers, even Essential+, without the need for a plugin?

Many Thanks,

Frediano

In XProtect Essential+ the Smart Client does not have an Alarm Manager (and no Alarm List or Alarm Preview controls). Anything that rely on the user seeing, acknowledging, or handling the alarms in the Alarm Manager will not work. It is possible however to submit analytics events and alarms and also read them from code. So, integration using analytics events and alarms is possible.

PS. I ran tests to ensure the validity of my answer, the following samples works very fine in Essential+ :

Many Thanks Bo, a colleague of yours explained to me that note 5 refers to your (internal) plugins used for analytical events.
