I have installed free XProtect Essential+ 2024 R1 (Management Server, Recording Server, API Gateway, Management Client and Smart Client components) and wanted to test WebRTC Javascript client, but I received an error message about a feature that is not licensed.
Looking at XProtect internal communication with API Gateway, I checked that one REST call returns that error message after two successfull calls:
- GET /API/rest/v1/cameras/0ED008F5-56FF-48C6-9ABF-064D79AE7CF9?definitions&tasks HTTP/1.1
Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
- GET /API/rest/v1/cameras/0ed008f5-56ff-48c6-9abf-064d79ae7cf9?definitions&tasks&resources HTTP/1.1
Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
- GET /API/rest/v1/cameras/0ed008f5-56ff-48c6-9abf-064d79ae7cf9/privacyProtections?definitions&tasks&resources&disabled HTTP/1.1
Response: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
{ “error” : { “httpCode” : 400, “details” : [ { “errorText” : “The feature is not licensed.”, “errorTextId” : “VMO64001” } ] } }
After reviewing XProtect documentation, apparently (for me) “privacyProtections” is an API call that is related to “Privacy Masking”, a feature that is not supported in the XProtect version that I´m using (XProtect Essential+), so the reason why that error message is shown.
If what I deduced is correct, then this could be a bug, because it’s supposed that that unsupported call (in order to check for privacy protection capabilities) shouldn´t be done within an XProtect Essential+ version.
Please, give some advice regarding this issue about what other checks I would have to do if what I suppose is not correct.
