Use API to add configured events to camera

In the management client there is an “Events” tab for a camera that allows me to tell Milestone that the camera supports a specific event - for example, Motion Started (HW).

I’d like to automate this configuration, so that the user doesn’t have to manually apply this to each of their (dozens of) ONVIF cameras.

However, I can’t even find the values in the camera configuration via the API.

The client API example doesn’t have this tab either.

Is this supported via the API ?

Unfortunately it is not supported in the Configuration API.

It is the future plans to implement this for the Configuration API, but it has currently not been prioritized..

Thanks.

That’s unfortunate. Without an (/any) event registered against the camera, Milestone does not appear to initiate a (ONVIF) PullPointSubscription of its own accord.

We’ll add a note to our documentation.

Thanks for the link. My searching powers obviously failed me that day :slight_smile:
