Protocol Integration via Java

MIP
1

Hello,

we have successfully integrated XProtect Corporate via Protocol Integration in Java using MIP SDK 2013.

Now our customer asks to change the XProtect installation to the Professional one. So we install the 30-days trial and also updated the MIP SDK to 2014 version in order to check the amount of work necessary to adapt our Java component.

During last year’s MIP SDK training we heard that in MIP SDK 2014 the Corporate and Professional API would be unified but it don’t seem to be true. So we have to change significantly the component, using Image Server Protocol to retrieve Configuration, and Central Protocol to retrieve camera status, I guess. Is that right?

Also in MIP SDK 2014 we found the new Configuration API that is very interesting for our project, but there is almost no information about that in the MIP Documentation. Do you have some additional documentation (e.g. is that a SOAP Service? Does it have an WSDL file?) ?

Another question: is there a way through Protocol Integration API to get an encrypted (and possibly cross-platform) exported video? (Right now we are using Mobile Server API in order to get exported video)

There still are some major differences between the two although we are working constantly to unify the 2 products unfortuantely it is taking time and we do also have to strive for backwards compatability in all things. Hopefulyl each release will get closer and closer.

Regarding the configuration API I’ll try and find out a little more, to be honest I’m familiar with it on a component level but not so much on a protocol. Do take into account this was a very recent addtion and while its a good first step it is limited to the additon and some configuration of the cameras.

Regarding the export I’ll have to ask around, bare with me, unfortuantely summer vacation often leaves me with a trail of OOO replies:) I’ll try my best to getthe answers to your questions.

Kind Regards

Justin Butterworth
