I’m trying to create a plugin that similar to SmartClientExtension from the MIPSDK samples that generates an email from an event. The user could generate the event while reviewing recorded video. Even though the event in my plugin is timestamped correctly, the rule to generate a notification sends the email with images attached that are live instead of relating to the timestamp. Seems like there is no way to use a rule to generate a notification in the past. Does this need to be done programatically? How can notification profiles send out images from the past?
The rule engine reacts on events as they happen and does not have the capability to use time information within the event.
Using MIP SDK it would be possible to develop a rule action. It is important to note that the notification profiles is not open to MIP usage, this means that developing such a rule action you will have to develop the mail server interface and functionality to send the e-mails, you will not be able to reuse the notification profiles etc.
This leads me to believe that the best choice is to develop the Smart Cleint plugin with the capabiltiy to send the e-mail directly.
I appreciate the help even though I was hoping for better news. Thanks for the info. I will develop a mail server interface.
Is it still the case that Notification Profiles are not usable from within MIP SDK?
