Dear members of the Milestone Developer Portal community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am currently exploring the possibilities of integrating the Milestone SDK into the Unity game development engine to create augmented reality (AR) experiences based on Milestone’s video management systems.

I have learned about the power and flexibility offered by the Milestone SDK for accessing real-time video streams and interacting with the features of the video management system. However, I would like to know if it is possible to leverage these capabilities within the Unity development environment, which is widely used for creating AR experiences.

Specifically, I have the following questions:

  1. Is the Milestone SDK compatible with Unity? Are there any specific resources, code examples, or tutorials available for integrating the SDK into Unity?
  2. How can I access real-time video streams from cameras connected to the Milestone video management system within Unity? Are there any specific APIs or methods that I can utilize?
  3. Can I also interact with other features of the Milestone video management system, such as event search, video retrieval, or camera configuration, from Unity using the SDK?
  4. Are there any recommendations or best practices to ensure a smooth integration between the Milestone SDK and Unity? For example, any specific considerations regarding performance, resource management, or security.

I am looking forward to receiving your assistance and guidance in exploring this integration possibility. Any documentation, links, or code examples you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your valuable contribution, and I look forward to engaging in fruitful discussions with you.

Best regards,

Alexis

I was not able to find anybody at Milestone with experience with Unity and MIP SDK.

I can only say that we don’t see any blocks in using the two together.

I am hoping there are users here on the forum that has experience to share that will give you a reply..

I understand that there may not be direct experience with using Unity and the Milestone SDK together. I appreciate your willingness to reach out to other forum members who may have relevant experience to share.

I’ll keep an eye on the forum in the hopes that someone can provide insights or guidance on integrating the Milestone SDK into Unity for augmented reality applications. If anyone has any information or experiences to share, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your assistance and support.
