Sending an Alarm + Images to Milestone alarm Manager

0050O00000725bjQAA · June 13, 2018, 5:35am

I am integrating a third party face recognition software with Milestone. The cropped face image identified through the face recognition software need to be shown at Alarm panel in Alarm Manager. I am using Milestone xProtect 2017 R3 and implement analytics events with following suggested link http://download.milestonesys.com/MIPSDK/Samples/TriggerAlarmFromExternal-ConceptSolution.pdf .

I have successful pass all information to alarm manager except the face image by using Object tag with following XML

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

If you need to save an image use the “snapshot” for it..

<SnapshotList> 
<Snapshot> 
<TimeOffset>0</TimeOffset> 
<Width>...</Width> 
<Height>...</Height> 
<HasOverlay>false</HasOverlay> 
<SizeInBytes>...</SizeInBytes> 
<Image>...</Image> 
</Snapshot>
</SnapshotList>

(Image is Base64)

Snapshots will be displayed in the Smart Client Alarm Manager Alarm Preview when the alarm is picked in the Alarm List. Depending on your need you might not need to make further plugin development to present the snapshot images.

Note..

It is not always recommended to save an image with an analyticsevent. Let me give give an example: In XProtect LPR no snapshot is saved. Using the data in the event you can find the original image in the recorded footage instead, in this way you do not fill the SQL, where analytics events and alarms are saved, with images already saved in the recordings.

The node must be before node.

Tip: If you use the TriggerAnalyticsEventXML sample application you can verify the XML against the schema (Validate XML button)

A positive note: I was able to verify that image and surrounding data is correct, I was able to use it in my test system!

Dear Andersen,

Thank for your instruction and we have successful to display the snapshot in alarm manager which shown as follow:

Could we config to show the video and phone in only 1 row instead of 2 ? Also, if we want to set overlay text on the snapshot, how could we do? thx.
