Сhange View on Smart Client by using Rules

MIP
1

We have a some View on client and we need to change current displayed to user View when receiving Generic or User-Defined event.

Is it possible by using Rules without use plugin for Smart Client?

Not directly, but there are 3 choices you can consider, all of which are controlled by a Rule:

  1. Use the built-in Smart Wall feature (licensed for XProtect Corporate, optional for XProtect Expert).

  2. Use the Matrix feature to push in the desired Camera to a View. This will work only for the local Smart Client.

  3. Make a plugin for the purpose. This requires the MIP SDK (free) license and a bit of programming skills.

Yes. It will work if the user is actively using a view that uses one of two functions:

  1. Matrix. If the user is looking at a view that includes a matrix viewitem, then that matrix can be activated from elsewhere and as an effect the user’s view will be updated to include live video from the camera that has been pushed onto the Matrix.

  2. Smart Wall. This is much the same thing. The Smart Wall is controlled form elsewhere and the user will see the camera that is pushed onto the Smart Wall

Note that if the user does not use a view with matrix or smart wall elements you cannot influence the users Smart Client in this way. You will have to make sure the users have and use appropriate views.

Smart Wall is included in XProtect Corporate and can be purchased as add-on for XProtect Expert.
