We use the MIP SDK2019R3 and need the current state of the inputs and outputs in order to represent them in our application. our application does not run all the time, but is started when it is to be connected to a camera in the milestone system. is this possible with the current MIP SDK 2020R2?
You can get the current state using the Status API with the one limitation that until the output state has changed the first time the system does not yet know the state. Please refer to https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=statushelp/index.html&tree=tree_3.html
Status Viewer sample might be useful for you to explore. This sample shows how to dynamically show status on items such as server, camera, event etc. https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=samples/statusviewer_sample.html&tree=tree_2.html
Status Session Console might be interesting for you too, because this sample shows how to dynamically show status on items such as server, camera, event etc. https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=samples/statussessionconsole.html&tree=tree_2.html
There might be limitations in these samples to get status but please explore these samples.
