How to send the customization events to Milestone Client?

Hi Bo,

Thanks, I create a new ticket for this topic.

Our RD already ​checked the “TriggerAlarmFromExternal-ConceptSolution.pdf”, and still have some questions, please help to check, many thanks in advance:

#1 According to the document you sent, the process should be as follows:

The camera sends an Anlytic Event in XML format to port 9090 of EventServer (which can be configured in Manager Client), associates this event with Alarm and displays it in Alarm Manager. I think other partners also did like this way.

But it will have one problem, how the 9090 port of EventServer to tell the camera?

If camera don’t know, the device need to config OK first, and then the port is configured in the Manager Client to be consistent with the device.

I whether need to config OK at camera side?

#2 We want to add some columns at smart Client, whether this is possible?

Because we want to display more information at Smart Client?

Hi Bo,

Good day, would you please help to check this question? Our RD is stuck here and waiting for your reply, thanks so much.​

#1

To find the address of the Event Server use registered services. (ServiceRegistrationService.svc)

#2

In the document you see in the chapter “Show custom information in the Smart Client.” how to extend the display in the smart Client Alarm List to show extra columns, and you see in the chapter “The correlation between Smart Client Alarm List and the Analytics Events tags.” how to put the informaiton in the event XML to populate the columns. You cannot create new fields but you can fill out and use Vendor, Location, Tag, Type and Object fields.

#1

My previous answer might not be ideal, I guess the camera would not know the adress of the Management Server either. I think you will have to configure the application you have in the camera giving it the address of the Event Server.

Hi Bo,

Thanks for your information about question #1, our RD said it can be realized by fixed in the camera, but it is hard to make it more general.

May I know that whether Milestone support Event push model?

Under the ONVIF event push model, Client can point the event server address and port.

Thanks
