Edge storage metadata management and open format

Hi,

I need to confirm XProtect’s metadata management capabilities:

- Is it possible to integrate any type of metadata on a camera (e.g.: UFO destination (city, garage), UFO profession, location in a non-GPS format)?

- Does this require the creation of a plugin to exploit this data in the search GUI?

- Will the metadata present on a Third Party or Edge system synchronize with the existing metadata?

Thank you for your feedback

Best regards

Yes. You can create your own metadata.

Yes. The metadata that you create will not be picked up unless you develop something that picks it up and uses it. One example would be to develop a search plugin.

If you do remote retrieval on metadata, yes the data will be merged using the timestamps.

I forgot to mention this document.. https://doc.milestonesys.com/latest/en-US/portal/htm/chapter-page-metadatasearch-integration.htm

Bo, thank you very much for these details.
