Hello guys ,

i have node js server and i need to read these signals from milestone to my node js server .

i completely have no idea what should i do or where to start

i saw in the documents that using a 3rd party app , i must choose component integration , i am not sure if i understand correctly

Four hints..

If you are using some kind of javascript you will probably have to use protocol integration methods.

You will have to get an understanding of the login to Milestone XProtect requiring NTML (or SSL)

For events and alarms you will have to use alarm client protocol.

http://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=reference/protocols/alarmcommand.html&tree=tree_3.html

There is an AlarmList sample, it is written in c# but it uses protocol methods that should be easy to “translate”. Maybe you can use this to get a head start.

Thank you for your answer and help,

however i am still confused and lost …

i have no idea where to start , all i see is c# codes and xml files

i cant see a good guide or tutorial that will guide me step by step on how can i connect or retrieve data from my camera using my node js server or any javascript code .

please help me as much as you can i know that idea that i am new to this will be tiring i am sorry for that

The Soap services and protocols are only documented, samples are to a very large extent all c#, there is no eLearning or tutorial on Soap or protocols.
