Hi,
We are currently using the RecorderCommandService (SOAP) to start and stop (manual) recordings of a camera. However, it is flagged as “legacy” on the official documentation page.
What is the correct way of starting and stopping recordings for a camera?
I have seen that for other tasks handled by the SOAP APIs (like activating outputs and moving cameras) there were endpoints introduced for the Configuration API.
It would be great, if you could help me!
You can use the Events Rest API, see this thread – https://developer.milestonesys.com/s/question/0D5bH00001JQFiPSAX/start-recording
Thank you for the response! This works for us.
However, there is also the method “TimeLineInformationGet” to retrieve the timeline (i.e. what recordings are available) for a camera.
Is there another way to retrieve that information?
In the next version, 2025R3, soon to be released, there is “Added support for getting list of recording sequences”.
Until this next version you will have to use RecorderCommandService or MIP SDK library (which uses RecorderCommandService underneath).
Great, thanks for the quick reply!
