Smart Map

Hello,

I’m brand new in Milestone’s world, so my questions could be a little bit stupid at first :slight_smile:

As far as i noticed, I can use the smart map with the Expert or Corporate License.

So, based on one of these softwares, i want to custom my own cameras, alarms, icons on the map i created.

I bet I have to set them on the Xprotect Milestone Management Application (Server), so they can be used in the Client Application through a plugin ?

Other question : Can I use my own stuff (cameras, alarms, etc…) or do they have to be related to Milestone Hardware ?

If someone got links or documents, I’ll be glad to hear from it :slight_smile:

Thanks

Unfortunately there is currently no integration support for Smart Map.

But you can create your own items for the old bitmap-based Map - have a look at the Sensor Monitor sample for an example of how that is done.

Thanks Peter,

I don’t think you answered me on my first question which was about plugging his own network to the Smart Client ? Or maybe I misunderstood your quote “Unfortunately there is currently no integration support for Smart Map.”

I’ve already setted my devices through my own network. The thing I want is to retrieve those devices on the Smart Client (through a plugin I guess). Is it doable ?

Do you have any link on Sensor Monitor ?

Thanks

I am not sure what you mean by ‘plugging his own network to the Smart Client’?

The SDK samples are not online - they are included with the SDK which you can get hold of by filling in the form on this page:

https://www.milestonesys.com/community/developer-tools/sdk/download-sdk/

There is also a large number of other samples in there, so try have a look at them and see if there is something that comes close to what you want to do.

I already downloaded it. But there is nothing related to the map (I tried the Professionnal solution).

The thing I want is simple :

I developped my own Acess Control Module (ACM), with my own database (customers, rules, etc).

I wanted to know if there is an easy way to plug my own “Milestone-like server” to the Smart Client ?

In a way, is it possible to use the Smart Client and bypassing the usage of the Milestone Server ?

Can you help me out please ?

There is nothing that stops you from communicating directly with your own server from e.g. a Smart Client Side Panel or View Item plugin. However, the Smart Client itself must of course be logged on to an XProtect server.

If you want to put your own type of items on the Map (not Smart Map) in the Smart Client you will need to write an Event Server plugin though.

Great, that’s the answer I was looking for.

Thanks
