Using the .Net MIP SDK, is it possible to include analytics messages when recording. Or alternatively display a message that would be included in the recordings?
Analytics are saved to the XProtect system in another way than the video recording is. But both will be saved. Analytics are saved as events, and you configure the retention by configuring the Event Server Alarm and Events settings.
When using analytics the events and alarms are retrived from the Event Server, you can then also retrieve the image from the time of the event or alarm and overlay the video with the event or alarm message.
I hope it makes sense to you. If you have a functionality and wonder how to best implement it try to explain what you want to achieve.
This might be a help.. (http://download.milestonesys.com/MIPSDK/Samples/TriggerAlarmFromExternal-ConceptSolution.pdf)
