Answered
Permanently deleted user

Hi community, just seeing if anyone has ever integrated micros point of sale with NX. We are very keen to do this with the bookmark and overlay on our system and just seeing if anyone has done it and if they had any tips or point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks in regards.

    Hi Burak,

    You can find more information in the following article. LINK

    Basically, the POS system has to put the data output on the caption and/or description fields and send the HTTP request to Nx Witness.

    Late to this thread, but may have something to contribute.

    We use the Hanwha Wisenet WAVE-branded version of NX Witness, and as of December 2018, Hanwha is now promoting Convergence To Pixels (www.c2p.com) for integrations with WAVE covering a variety of third party apps (e.g., LPR, facial recognition, POS), and C2P specifically mentions Oracle Micros, so that may be worth investigating.

    Hi all,

    We got a project with MICROS ORACLE POS, with numerous cameras...

    Does anyone started to work with them, using C2P ?

    While using C2P do we have any cost to add from your experience, we might deploy a POC of it, if working will try to send you screenshot and videos.

    Regards

    Hello Decoux Guilhem ,

    Could you please describe in details your scenario and its objectives?
    What do you want Nx Witness to be able to do in regard to MICROS ORACLE POS?

    Hello Andrey,

    We got 2 objectives, that should be done easily I think : 

    1. For evey event in Micros we like to get a bookmark created : cancellation, cashier open
    2. For evey item sold in Micros we like to get a bookmark created : cancellation, cashier open

    The third objective, would be to get the Micros POS information displayed with overlay on the IPC : https://youtu.be/3_XLKgCmves?t=63

    What do you think about it ?

    Regards

    Decoux Guilhem,

    1 and 2 are easily doable by Nx Wintess

    See the link Envy Admin had posted above https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8omoqoMsXfw for how it looks like in the Nx Desktop client.

    Technically it is done by triggering the "Generic Event" in the Nx Witness Server by invoking the /api/createEvent API function.
    That is what the Official comment above is about.
    Here is the link to the tech details https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/227195368-HTTP-Generic-Event-aka-sending-events-to-Nx-Witness-using-the-CreateEvent-API-

    In other words, MICROS ORACLE POS has to be configured on the operations you need to make an HTTP request invoking /api/createEvent API function with custom parameters for triggering the "Generic Event".

    The Nx Wintess Server has to be configured to make a bookmark on a triggered "Generic event".

    The third objective is doable by the analytics plugin.

    1. You could write an analytics plugin with MetadataSDK and run it in the Nx Witness Server.
    2. This plugin could listen to a network socket and accept information to be displayed from the MICROS ORACLE POS configured to pass the information on the operations you need (with HTTP for example).
    3. On information receive, your plugin could generate zero-sized object with the attributes comprised of the information to be displayed and passe this object to the Nx Witness Server.

    Hello Andrey,

    That video result is great ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8omoqoMsXfw

    I never figured out that bookmark can be displayed so quickly, seeing the effect with bookmark, we might not need the third solution.

    I will try to grab a Micros POS, and let you know the result.

    Thanks again, Nx Support is one the greatest one !

    Hello Andrey,
    we would like to display checkout receipt texts as an overlay in both live stream and saved videos. We don't want to use text inserter and bookmarks, because our receipt texts are very long with many items and we also want to format the display, adapted to our specifications.
    The 3rd solution you suggested 2 years ago in this post with the analytics plugin, seems to be suitable for this: can you describe this solution in more detail please? Thanks a lot!

    Hello Jean-Mark Zipf ,

    Here is a good starting point in the "Integrating Video Analytics and Metadata" section.
