When an alarm is generated by an external security system, I would like to be able to choose a video feed and make it full screen on the smart client. Once the alarm has been cleared, I would like to minimize or close the full screen video feed. I’d like to do this through the SDK.
Is it possible to do this with tiles, similar to how the UI works in the smart client?
What about popping a new window with a video feed?
There are two plugin samples that do something similar starting a new view: Smart Client Dynamic View and Smart Client Hotspot.
With either of these as a starting point you need to change the trigger mechanism so that you listen for alarms, and base the popup on this.
To listen for new alarms use NewAlarmIndication. This you can see used in the Smart Client Overlay on Event plugin sample.
To listen for the alarm update indicating the alarms is closed you will have to subscribe to ChangedAlarmIndication also.
