Hello,

​

Is there a solution to archive a downsampling of video from an allied vision​ G-1236c cam please?

I’m an end user of milestone with​ basic understanding in extending the sdk in integration projects.

A goal is to understand if there is an opportunity to downsample and archive video from allied vision g-1236c​ into milestone vms.

​

A local vms instance is able to be installed in the network the cam is in.

About archiving ​the video, for example, is downsampling and converting the video into an import ready format a reasonable solution?

I am not sure I understand the use case scenario.

To get video from a camera into XProtect you need to add it as a camera device and to be able to do that there must be a device driver. If there is no device driver currently for the device you might be able develop one yourself using the Driver Framework. If you develop a driver you can potentially do special operations like converting data formats or similar.

Hoping my remarks are not too far off from what you were asking please see: https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=gettingstarted/intro_driverframework.html&tree=tree_4.html

If my answer is not fitting you can try to explain more about your vision on how the device should work with XProtect..

I appreciate the response. I understand opportunity exists in importing the camera device through creating a device driver with the driver framework​, in the case a driver doesn’t exist.

For context, I have not yet added a device as an admin, i’m mostly an end user that is involved in sdk integration projects. The scope of the current project includes proving milestone xprotect playback is a good solution for historical review of key events in a high resolution real time cam. The source cameras are offline from the site’s milestone system. A goal is to install the local 8 camera max installation in a machine in the offline network. Then to navigate through creating a device driver to import a lower resolution feed from the high resolution cams.

​

Thanks again for the solution.
