Sending metadata using Protocol Integration - any updates?

Problem:

Need to attach a video stream/camera with a continuous flow of bounding-boxes (i.e. meta data).

  • This should be done without raising e.g. an AnalyticsEvent.
  • The metadata must be sent using Protocol Integration [1].

Request:

Is there an up-to-date[2] guide , document or sample-code illustrating how to send a continuous flow of bounding boxes (metadata) to an X-Protect Corporate server (R2 2019)?

Notes:

[1] Wish to use the Milestone Environment to demonstrate early-stage video-analytics tools. These are frequently implemented/developed in e.g. Python, Matlab etc for which .Net is cumbersome and Protocol Integration potentially much more convenient…

[2] I am aware there are previous posts on this topic on the forum, but the responses given are not very detailed and difficult to use…

See e.g. https://developer.milestonesys.com/s/question/0D50O00005X2tbZSAR/sending-metadata-using-xml-by-protocol-integration

There is no update in the sense that no documentation on the subject has been published since the first posts you mention.

Allow me to suggest something different: You can now develop a driver using the Driver Framework which was introduced in 2019R3. Then you can make the protocol like you prefer. I believe this will be a much better option.
