How to send real-time counting data and display this at Milestone Xprotect?

Currently, we are also developing a Milestone plugin by MIP, whcih want to display real-time conunting data and also can create counting data report(daily/weekly).

We analyzed the MIP document, and found that there is no interface that allow us to tranfer these information to Xprotect. Would you please help to guide us how to start and develop this? Our cameras integrate with Milestone by ONVIF, I think counting people data can not be sent to Milestone, how we should transfer this kind of information.

I believe that Analytics Events will fit this purpose.

Maybe this document will be a good help.. http://download.milestonesys.com/MIPSDK/Samples/TriggerAlarmFromExternal-ConceptSolution.pdf

Hi Bo, thanks for your information.

Not the analytic events, it is data information, we have the people couting camera.

How this data information send to Xprotect? I think at least we need to transfer this information to Xproct server first, would you please help to guide how to send this?

Thanks

Might the concept of Metadata sources be a better fit?

I might have caused confusion not knowing the background. If you are a camera partner you can submit metadata just like you do video data.

Then the MIP SDK can help you retrieve the metadata.

The Metadata Live Viewer sample shows how to retrieve metadata in live mode, and the Metadata Playback Viewer sample shows the same in playback mode.

The Smart Client is capable of understand bounding box metadata but for other forms of integration you will need the develop a Smart Client plugin in order to visualize the data.

By combining the Metadata Playback Viewer sample’s ability to get the metadata, and the Smart Client Overlay on Event (Smart Client Overlay Graph on Event) plugin sample you could develop a plugin that will illustrate the data received from the metadata over the video images as overlay.

I hope I am getting closer. When asking further on how to integrate and develop plug-ins please elaborate more on what you already have, what you want to achieve and how the user should experience it.

Dear Bo,

One more question, about Milestone SDK, we must use C# to develop?

Whether it is possible to use C++?

Apprecaite.

If developing a MIP plugin capable of running within the Smart Client, Management Client or Event Server the requirement is .NET

From your question I am guessing we are talking about developing MIP plugins.

There are other forms of integration where C++ toolkit or protocol methods can be used and this will open up for other languages and tools etc.
