Missing "heading" or "title" of a camera video feeds when sending camera to Smartwall via MIPSDK

The right side of the image below shows when I send a camera using the VideoWallController Component Sample the “heading” or “title” that showing the camera info is missing, compared to the one on the right side, which is done by drag-and-dropping a camera from the Smart Client Camera Panel.

Is the anyway that I can have the heading using the MIPSDK way?

HI. This view without heading or title is a Smart Wall Monitor view. By design the Smart Wall Monitor does not use heading on cameras. You cannot configure it to use heading, and you cannot change it to use heading by using the MIP SDK.

Thanks for the reply.

One thing to notice is I did not intend to configure or change the heading content,

but only want to keep it showing in the Smart Wall Monitor view after sending MIPSDK command.

In my case, it is done by sending

MessageId.Control.VideoWallSetCamerasCommand

to the server via

EnvironmentManager.Instance.SendMessage(…);

so is there any other possible solution(s) that can update the Smart Wall Monitor View with the heading showing.

Thanks.

The Smart Wall never shows cameras with heading, this is by design. The Smart Wall Monitor shows cameras without heading no matter whether the cameras are put on the Smart Wall Monitor by a manual user action or by a MIP command message.

Alternative approach.

It is possible for you to develop a plugin that builds a regular View (not Smart Wall Monitor view) and populates it with cameras. Try to explore the Smart Client Insert Camera plugin sample.
