How to print the IP address of a camera connected to VMS
I will mention two ways
On the Rest API
Ref. https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/mipvmsapi/api/config-rest/v1/
This will give you your cameras
https://localhost/api/rest/v1/cameras
In the data you get you will find the camera you are working with and find a parent for it.
"parent": {
"type": "hardware",
"id": "3ac63e07-d9a7-4321-a261-538cc05b658b"
https://localhost/api/rest/v1/hardware/3ac63e07-d9a7-4321-a261-538cc05b658b
You will find ‘address’
(The id is here an example, will be a GUID but not the one displayed here.)
On Configuration API
See it using the Config API Client sample.
And For Rest API , when i get into it and type the username and password , it not working
i want to know what is meant by username in this case ?
This is not protocol integration, wrong tag..
The answer I posted yesterday was deleted. I am sorry if my answers don’t stick I will not be able to help.
So you can’t help further in this urgent task issue ?
Did you write down the answer yesterday? Please post it here so we have a working point.
No i didn’t , I need a full example with good explanation to understand how to print the IP Address of the camera in C# please .
or you could give me an exact function to take the camera name and give me the IP or sort of that kind
This was answered yesterday.
I can recreate the code in the new year.
The answer wasn’t helpful at all and very complex to understand
,What is the meaning of this ( I can recreate the code in the new year.) ?
and this mean that there is no direct way to get IP address of the camera ?
If this doesn’t help you please leave it here for other followers of this forum.
using VideoOS.Platform;
using VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems;
FQID fqid = ev.EventHeader.Source.FQID;
if (fqid.Kind == Kind.Camera)
{
Camera camera = new Camera(fqid);
Hardware hardware = new Hardware(fqid.ServerId, camera.ParentItemPath);
Debug.WriteLine(camera.DisplayName + " address: " + hardware.Address);
}
There is a chance that you will receive answers from other users of the Forum, if my answer doesn’t make sense and you don’t want to ask questions based on the code I post.
this is the same exact code that i’ve tried but not work with my case
Then please debug and explain how it fails.
Are any of the two parameters null?
Show me what they contain and include the call stack..
what is the call stack ?
Look at the previous picture you sent, there is a ‘show call stack’.
I need you to debug and show values not code.
