Hello, I’m still trying to retrieve Camera Status with Central Protocol on a XProtect Professional installation (2016 version). I need the “recording” information that indicate if the camera is recording or not, and I have to get this information via Protocol Integration.
In XProtect Corporate I can get this information from Status SOAP Protocol. Can I get this information from Central Protocol on a Professional installation? Or maybe from some other protocol?
No, I’m afraid this is not directly accessible for XProtect Professional series, unless you always record on motion. In stead you will have to listen to the events that triggers the recordings (motion start and other events).
Further, You can check the StatusViewer API sample (Home > Component Integration > Samples Index > Status Viewer) for the methods, although this is c#, not a protocol sample
Thanks for your response, but the solutions you provided are not suitable for our purposes because we need the actual information about the recording status of the camera, regardless of whatever can occur in the system (as we can get in Corporate installation using Status SOAP Protocol). Also we need an platform-independent API because we don’t work on the Windows platform.
Is there any chance that the “Recording” information will be integrated in the Central Protocol in a future release?
