We are working on integrating our cameras with Milestone System using our custom camera driver via MIPS driver framework.
When the camera is added to Millstone system using our custom camera driver Event configuration enablement page is missing , same appears when the camera is added using Milestone ONVIF Driver. Event Configuration enablement snapshot page is attached for Custom Camera Driver and ONVIF Driver.
Our custom camera driver publish event capabilities i.e supported event list to Milestone system via MIPS Driver Framework, still the Event Configuration enablement page is missing.
Could you please advice us how can we archive this feature with custom camera driver.
When using the Demo Driver sample, I can hit the Add… button and see three event, if I have added one I do see the window being filled.
You might find what is missing if you do a quick look into the sample code, if not, try to share the Events part of your configuration class in the driver.
event configuration is listed for framework events i.e Motion Started(Demo) or Motion Stopped(Demo) in demo driver, not for demo device dynamic events i.e Analytics Event LPR(Demo) event. Our camera driver gets dynamic events from the camera and same is shared to Milestone System as part of event capabilities.
Milestone Development will do a deeper investigation, I will let you know what we find.
Currently this functionality is not implemented in the Driver Framework, there is no support for creating properties on events.
Next step could be to do a request for enhancement so that Milestone Product Management could evaluate and prioritize this as a candidate for future development work. It could be beneficial if you can help me with some words with how this functionality could help you in creating better drivers and perhaps even put some words on the business case for such an enhancement.
Thanks Andersen for the response. Sure, we will discuss with our offering team and provide the business use case for this feature for MIPS Driver Framework future enhancement.
