Scenario:
With i-PRO Active Guard server v2.0.0 or later, alarm events from third-party camera applications are fully compatible. A simpler integration can also be achieved by using i-PRO Maximizer instead of i-PRO Active Guard. For more information, refer to the i-PRO Maximizer page. This page explains how to configure alarm events from third-party applications in i-PRO Active Guard and Milestone XProtect:

  1. i-PRO Active Guard Server Configuration
    1.1 Register Appplication and Event Name
    1.2 Register Cameras on the i-PRO Active Guard Configuration
    1.3 Restart i-PRO Active Guard Process
  2. Milestone XProtect Configuration
    2.1 Create Analytics Events
    2.2 Create Alarm Definitions
  3. How It Works
    3.1 Alarm Manager
    3.2 Searching Past Events

Compatible partner's app information:
 Note: The application name and event name must be configured in Active Guard and must match exactly. 

Vendor	Application name	Event name
Morpho AI Solutions	"Mimamori AI Duranta"	*configured alarm name on partner's configuration tool
Noema	"Noema Fire and Smoke Detection iPRO App"	"Smoke detection"
		"Fire detection"
Noema	"Noema Flooding Detector iPRO App"	"Flood detected"
