Hi,

Inside MIPSDK component sample folder there are 3 different samples available for retrieving camera statuses.

  1. StatusDemoConsole
  2. StatusSessionConsole
  3. StatusViewer

Each uses different SDK classes and apparently connect with different services(i.e RecorderStatusService, Event Server) .

Can somebody please tell me, to compatible with Milestone Corporate 2017 up-to the latest version which approach is more suited?

Regards,

Janaka

The Event Server is subscribing to the RecorderStatusService for you so if you want to rely on the presence and normal operation of the Event Server​, that is a great option and a bit less work.

​

Alternatively, if you want to connect direct to Recording Servers and ignore the event server, that might make sense too depending on the use case.​

​

I​ personally default to using the event server until there’s a specific reason not to.

Thank you very much for your clarifications.

I have two more questions for you,

  1. Is VideoOS.Platform.SDK.StatusClient class library is a wrapper on top of VideoOS.Platform.SDK.Proxy.Status2 classes?
  2. Whether all these approaches available on every versions of MIP SDK?

Thanks,

Janaka

I am sorry for letting you wait. Actually, we needed to talked to Milestone Development regarding your questions.

  1. Yes.

  2. Yes, please note that it is strongly recommended that you use the newest MIP SDK when developing.
