Hi,

We have a requirement to place the plugin on maps/smart map.

Is it possible to place it on maps?

The plugin similar to VideoPreview sample from SDK.

Thanks

No, you cannot place an item on Map using code. You can place an item manually only.

Hi @Rie Kiuchi (Milestone Systems) ,

Manually can we place VideoPreview sample or any custom plugin on Map/Smart Map?

Thanks

No. Please see this sample, you can place Controllers and Sensors on the map. –

Hi @Rie Kiuchi (Milestone Systems)

Any possibility now of adding a video plugin on maps/smart maps?

Any Update on this?

We have a customer with a request to place the plugin on maps, when click on the plugin icon on maps it provides live.

For example, can’t place videopreview or select on maps drawing tool plugin element

Thanks

You cannot add a plugin to a map, It has never been possible and is not under consideration to my knowledge.

I have an idea that you can extend your plugin with MIP Items, much like the items in the Sensor Monitor sample.

Hi @Bo Ellegård Andersen (Milestone Systems) ,

Extend ?

How do we extend existing plugin? Any sample

Thanks,

I suggest you explore the Sensor Monitor sample and then use some functionality from it.

That will show how to put something on the map.

Sorry, if you found my advise too short and unclear, I hope this is better.

Hi @Bo Ellegård Andersen (Milestone Systems) ,

Like native camera preview on maps upon click, can we get same on sensor sample?

In the context menu of the sensor sample, can we launch a dynamic plugin(video preview/server carrousal) .

Thanks,

Vikas

While MIP Items is your chance to put something on Maps and Smart Maps you cannot achieve what you ask.

MIP Item actions are sent to the Event Server, here there is no understanding about what sent it, there is no mechanism that the server can send anything back and the client UI be part of the interaction. The Sensor Monitor sample and in general MIP item is loaded in the Event Server, and not in the Smart Client. When the Maps or Smart Maps are used it works because the server will give all information about what is in the maps. Actions are triggered on the server.

I am sorry if I have confused you and other readers by the previous answers that refer to functionality that will not help you achieve what you want. The functionality you are asking for, to put plugins with UI on Maps, is not possible, the functionality was never developed.
