Display live stream/ playback / ptz in my web application

Hi,

I want to display live stream of cameras from milestone along with playback of cameras as requested and also provide support for PTZ operations for supported cameras in my web application.

since my web application is in Typescript, I can use the MIP mobile sdk (web) for the integration. I have also downloaded the samples and trying them out. I am able to play live stream and also perform PTZ operations. I have some questions regarding playback:

  1. I believe it is possible to specify a specific time to seek while requesting a playback. For example if current time is 11 PM, can I request the playback video so that it starts from 10 PM?
  2. When the playback video starts, it’s basically a live video stream but you can go back in time as per your requirement? is it possible to only request a certain segment of time as a video (similar to a youtube video which is of fixed duration). For example, I want playback video from 10 PM to 10:30 PM only which would be a 30 mins video where I can pause/seek/forward/backward as many time as I want similar to a youtube video?

Let me know if there are other options other than MIP Mobile web SDK for my web based integration.

Hi, Alok,

For complicated cases in playback mode, my advice is to create a new playback controller and then you can navigate to a specific time with command change multicamera playback and you have loop options

Documentation for how is possible to create a playback controller: https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/mipsdkmobile/reference/protocols/mobile_command.html#command_CreatePlaybackController
