I have dozens of PC’s in a LAN, all have XProtect screen recorder. I need to tell them all to start/stop recording together. Can I do it using the API? or write a plugin to the VMS?
This sample might be helpful for you – VideoViewer sample -
The VideoViewer sample can show live and recorded video for two cameras.
Also, you can do it with making a new rule, this means you don’t need to develop with MIP SDK.
In this case, you can start and stop recording when you fire user-define event. Let me tell you the instructions.
-—
1. Make two new user-define events, such as start and stop.
2. Make a new rule, for example –
Perform an action on start
from External
start recording immediately on Camera Group 1
Perform stop action on stop
from External
stop recording immediately
3. When you fire start/stop user-define event, then you can start/stop recording your cameras.
