Event, analytics and status integrations

There are multiple ways you can send events into Milestone XProtect video management software, such as:

• User defined events
• Generic events
• Analytics events
• Alarms

A simple event can be something like an input trigger, while an analytics event will contain extra information about the source and reason for the event.

All events are converted into a uniform format within Milestone XProtect video management software, so events that are retrieved from Milestone XProtect video management software comply with this format. This includes operational status events.

A simple event integration may only require configuration, while most informative integrations will require some programming.

Following is an overview of the system architecture and where to integrate an events and analytics application with Milestone XProtect video management software.
