How to get camera connectivity status?

We’re looking for a quick method of getting the connectivity status of each camera (Online/Offline) using the Mobile Server Protocol.

I can’t see a direct command for it, but it may be part of another command I’ve missed.

Thanks,

Darren

There is no method on the Mobile protocol. Perhaps you will note how the Milestone Mobile clients or webclient does not keep a list of good and bad cameras, you will discover only that a camera is out if you try to stream pictures from the camera.

I do not know if you want to open a stream from each camera to test but that is of course an option.

If not using Mobile protocol the Status Viewer sample shows an easy implementation of status.

Thanks for the reply Bo, I was thinking the same thing regarding streaming each camera, we do it for other manufacturers products, but it’s obviously not the most efficient way of doing it.

We’ll take a look at the Status Viewer as an alternative option.

Thanks again,

Darren
