Open XProtect Mobile from another app with url

Is it possible to open the XProtect Mobile server from another app with a url, like the link in smartconnect (https://abs.milestonesys.com/smartlink/ManualConfigure/xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx?productCode=Main)?

Also, is it possible to open the app with a specified server so the user doesn’t have to press the server manually?

Hello,

Please check this KB article for the URL formats supported by our mobile clients:

https://supportcommunity.milestonesys.com/s/article/Mobile-Server-URL-formats-for-Smart-Connect-Mobile-Clients-iOS-Android-how-to?language=en_US

In particular, you need to know the server ID (visible in the mobile server connectivity page in the management client).

Then, for iOS you could use some URL like this:

com.milestonesys.XProtect://alarm/open?serverid=&alarmid=…

This will open the client and connect to the specified server. It will also try to display the specified alarm, but i think you can just provide some invalid alarm id there.

Unfortunately, this url scheme is not supported for Android.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response!

Is there any plan to implement the url scheme to Android anytime soon?

Hello,

Up to my knowledge this is not planned for the near future
