Hi everyone,
I’m working on integrating an external alarm system (e.g. door alarms) with our video surveillance setup. The goal is to automatically retrieve video sequences around the time an alarm occurs — ideally starting 1 minute before and ending 5 minutes after the alarm.
I’m using Node-RED to handle the alarm events and trigger actions. However, Milestone doesn’t offer a REST API where I can simply request footage using cameraId, startTime, and endTime.
Has anyone tackled something similar? Would using the .NET SDK to export video material be the best approach here? Or is there a better/easier way to retrieve sequences programmatically?
Any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
