Get Driver name used by a camera from inside a Client Plugin

Hi.

I’d need to know if it’s possible (and how) to retrieve the name (or the id) of the driver used by a connected camera from inside a MIP Client plugin. I’m able to retrieve a lot of information but nothing regarding the camera driver.

Thank you and best regards.

In a MIP plugin you can use the ConfigurationItems to retrieve setup information including the information on the driver used.

The snippet of code might be what you need.

using VideoOS.Platform;
using VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems;
..
 
Camera camera = new Camera(cameraFQID);
Hardware hardware = new Hardware(cameraFQID.ServerId, camera.ParentItemPath);
label1.Text = hardware.Model;
RecordingServer rs = new RecordingServer(cameraFQID.ServerId, hardware.ParentItemPath);
HardwareDriver hardwareDriver1 = rs.HardwareDriverFolder.HardwareDrivers.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Path == hardware.HardwareDriverPath);
label1.Text += " - Hardware Driver: " + hardwareDriver1.Name + Environment.NewLine;

Best regards.
