Hi,

How can I retrieve card ID and/or RAW code from reader connected to Axis A1001a and send it as string to event server to activate generic event?

I am wondering if you a trying to do something that could be done in the rule system, it is possible to raise events like this.

Can you please elaborate on what you are trying to achieve? Perhaps add some details on the use case.

Hi Bo,

Please see the attached diagram. I am trying to achieve 2FA to unlock the door using NEC’s Neo Face. Their software can send the GUID as a stream to milestone proxy. However, the access point (reader) side cannot do so.

Hi

Thank you for the diagram – it provides a very overview of what you are trying to achieve. And I’d like to add, that it’s a very interesting application.

The Axis1001 has an event called “Access Point Id Data” (IdPoint/Request/IdData), which exposes both the card id and raw code. This event is disabled by default in the Axis1001 plug-in for XProtect Access, but it can be enabled in the Management Client on the events tab for the access control system.

You can subscribe to this event from either an event server plug-in or a standalone MIP application. There are several samples on how to do this.

The trick is then to type-cast the BaseEvent to AccessControlEvent and access the “Properties” property. You are looking for Properties with Key “Card” or “Card number”. This is not so well documented, but I hope this explains it.

Hi Nielsen,

Thanks for your advise. Frankly, my programming skill is not there. Just trying to integrate for the solution which is required by our customer. I wish Milestone can add match list for Access Control module in future release like Milestone LPR. E.g, we can add card number into predefined match list then trigger the event via rule.

In the developer forum the advise you receive will often be explaining how to develop something. I hope that you have found it informative if not completely fitting.

It might be a possibility to ask Milestone Custom Development or another developer to develop this for you.

You will best get a quote for a development project from Milestone Custom Development by asking your Milestone sales representative.

I will forward your last remark to Milestone Product Management as a suggestion for a new future enhancement to the Access products.

I understand where you are coming from. Thanks a lot.
