I have an imageViewerControl showing live videos from selected camera ( based on the video preview sample) , on button click i show the playback control and playback the video to the moment of certain event. every thing is working correctly. I have cameras from remote sites that need to work with the same functionality . Can i some how show the retrieve data button with the playback or auto retrieve the data from the remote servers?
I am guessing that the remote sites are connected somehow and you can see the camera from the remote site in the regular camera views. In that case you should be able to use these cameras just as the cameras directly on the main site.
Are the cameras connected using interconnect?
Please explain more on the nature of the remote site and cameras and how they are (or are not) connected to the site on which you log in.
Hello Bo,
The cameras are connected using interconnect and added to the recording server on the main site. I can see the live video in the plugin from the remote site but when i request to playback certain event on this camera i have no recordings since the recording is on the remote site, i need a way to retrieve the data from the interconnected site camera to show the playback on the main site inside my plugin.
I understand now (I hope).
In the case you were using a regular camera view you would be able to use the Retrieve button in the Playback workspace. Correct?
How to do a retrieval job in code is shown in the Remote Retrieval Task sample, the sample is a standalone sample but the same functionality can be used in your plugin.
Yes, if i am using a regular camera view i am able to use the retrieve button in the playback workspace.
I will look into the sample.
Thank you Bo
