For each camera, my analytics engine will require a predefined trip region to trigger an alarm. I was wondering would it be possible to store an xml/text file containing the ROI within the Milestone VMS and have my engine pull information from it on startup each time?
I believe SaveOptionsConfiguration will fit your requirements.
See it used in the Property plugin sample.

Hi Andersen, Thanks for the prompt reply. My analytics engine will be on an linux environment therefore I am only limited to using protocol integration. Correct me if I am wrong but seeing as to how the examples require VideoOS.Platform, I am guessing it will only work with component/plug in integration?
The sample will only work in component or plugin integration. You are correct.
Behind the scenes SaveOptionsConfiguration uses the Server Soap Protocol and CustomSettings on that protocol. Unfortunately there is no protocol sample showing this. I hope the hint to use CustomSettings is enough for you to be able to use it..
