Motion Features
Answered
Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to create a new rule about "Motion on Camera".

Hi, Jordan IUNCKER
We have a similar request on the forum: https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360044102013-motion-detection
We plan to improve our event rules engine, but, as I said in other topics -- this will take some time, cause we have to move to another internal rules engine and we want to deliver stable, high-quality product -- so it will take some time for testing. -
Hi, Tagir Gadelshin
Okey okey.. but for moment it's a big problem.. when you want do HTTP request when a motion on camera only in part of image...
I hope you find a solution....
Best regards,

Hi Tagir Gadelshin,
My new customer yesterday ask me for this again... and soon in all my project I need to use it..
You know if it's possible soon to do this ?
----
And you know when it's possible to send snapshot from Nx directly with FTP ?
We need it really.. FTP it's the best solution to send snapshot -

Maybe it is possible for you to set motion sensitivity in camera settings?
As I said, Even Rules are under renovation and it will take some time, there is very little chance that this feature will come out soon. But it definitely will be released in the future, but not soon :( -

sorry, I didn't understand about the snapshot.
If you need a snapshot, there is an API for that, /ec2/cameraThumbnail
see https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360052050573-Is-there-any-API-to-get-snapshot-thumbnail-from-a-camera- -
No is not possible..
Because I need record all time when a motion start, but send only a snapshot when a motion in part of image...
I need send snapshot to a FTP SERVER.. With all my old VMS I can do it.. but NX it's really hardcore to do it...
Send a snapshot directly to a FTP with NX is so easy for you I think.. because FTP protocol is really basic... but get snapshot from NX and send to a FTP it's hard to get the right snapshot... -

There is no such feature in Nx Witness, but with integrations, it's possible with the API that I've mentioned earlier -
We have already developed a software with my developers that allows to retrieve images from NX using your API in case of motion detection. And to send these images to an FTP server.
But the solution is not really optimal because, the time that NX sends the HTTP request in case of motion detection, that my software asks for images and then sends them to the FTP server, the duration of the operation is slightly too long and often when we want to detect a car to analyze its plate or other ... between the time the car is in the image and that we send the image request ... the car is no longer there ...
Whereas if it was processed directly from NX, the screenshot of the car would be instantaneous! Which is not the case here... There are a few ms of difference and when a vehicle is running at 60km/h it is not acceptable...

Have you tried simply including this time lag (few ms) in the "time" field of API? I mean, don't ask for currentTime, but for currentTime - N ms?
Or what do you put in time field?
I mean, you can try to calculate this time and ask for a snapshot a few ms earlier. I understand it's not the best solution, but still.
And also I'm thinking of -- if you can pass a timestamp of motion somehow.. I'm not sure if it is possible now, but we definitely have plans to improve that in the future
So (in the future) you will be able to configure Nx in such a way, that it will send to your software the exact timestamp when the motion happened.
