Hi All,

Would like to get your advice on which API SDK to use to get the camera name on my integration software.

Upon research I was able to find the following link:

https://www.milestonepstools.com/commands/en-US/Get-VmsCamera/

However as I am using the mobile sdk i dont think this is viable for my integration.

Is there any API with the mobile SDK that can be used for our integration.

Any advice in relation to this topic would greatly help me.

Thank you!

Hi there

It seems like you’re trying to access the camera name through the Mobile SDK for your integration, but the link you provided points to a PowerShell tool, which is not directly related to the Mobile SDK.

To clarify, the Mobile SDK provides various APIs to interact with XProtect VMS through mobile devices (iOS, Android, or web apps). Based on your use case, you’ll want to use the appropriate SDK to retrieve camera information from the Mobile Server.

Here are a few options, depending on your platform:

  • .NET Applications: You can check out the mipsdkmobile-samples-dotnet repository here. It includes sample code for integrating with XProtect VMS and accessing camera data.
  • Web-based Applications (JavaScript): If you are working with a web app, take a look at the mipsdkmobile-web repository here. It provides examples on how to interact with the Mobile Server using JavaScript.
  • iOS or Android Applications: For mobile-specific integrations, you can use the mipsdk-mobile-ios (iOS) or mipsdk-mobile-android (Android) repositories, which provide samples on connecting mobile apps to XProtect Mobile Server.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the reply.

I think there was a mis comm with the link but I also did look throught the mipsdkmobile-web repo to see if there are any examples with extracting the camera name out instead of the GUID.

But I dont seem to find any from the examples.

Is the sdk able to pull the name?

Or is there any other resources that can help with this?

Thank you!

easely!

have a look into VideoStream sample - this is what you need.

https://github.com/milestonesys/mipsdkmobile-web/blob/main/Samples/VideoStream/sample.js

try to use getAllCameras:

or get getAllViews:
