Sending Metadata using Protocol Integration

MIP

I was wondering if there is a way to send back metadata to the VMS from my VCA system using the protocol integration method? I know there is Trigger Analytics Event via XML sample(Protocol Integration) but that only sends back bounding boxes when an event is triggered.

I am thinking more of the Bounding Box Metadata Provider method which constantly sends metadata but that’s for Component Integration so wondering if there’s a similar way for Protocol Integration.

On a related point, to receive metadata do I require a seperate metadata device license for each camera to subscribe to this metadata stream?

In the Milestone SDK team we hope to include documentation on the MIP Driver API in future versions of the MIP Documentation. We have some internal documentation for the MIP Driver API. This current document is very much work in progress, more like a developers notes and first draft, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, there might be some discrepancies compared to the actual API.

Bo Andersen: I have removed the download link. Please see and use my advise below on using Driver Framework instead..

I need the same thing,

are there any new good documentations about sending metadata as xml?

if you have something like in Analytic events where i can see the Post arguments it will be nice.

In the sample “boundingBoxMetaDataProvider” it sends only in the same computer, but i need an example of how to send from 1 computer to another.

The Bounding Box Metadata Provider sample will work even if not running in the same computer as the recording server.

Unfortunately there is no news about updates to the documentation presently.

Hi we’re looking for this as well. Is there any update?

Thanks!

Milestone will not be documenting this. Milestone recommends another route. Instead create your own driver using the driver framework - https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=gettingstarted/intro_driverframework.html&tree=tree_4.html

In your own driver you can built-in communication of your preferred method.

The MIP Driver Framework was introduced in MIP SDK 2019R3.
