Dear Sir, 

      we have implement the virtual camera with the following API.
https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017704814-Virtual-Camera-API-Calls-How-to-Import-Files-to-Camera-Archive-via-the-Server-API

We have faced an issue which I record a video below

https://youtu.be/lVjWIMmIBXs

The breif decription will be 

When we use  the following command to post the file to Nx

Use the /api/wearableCamera/add?name=MyVirtualCamera (POST) 

 

but when we use the following API for the second time file transfer on the 4.2, it shows fail

POST /api/virtualCamera/lock — locks Virtual Camera.

However, if we replace teh "virtualcamrea" parameter with "wearableCamera"

its ok for now, my questions, so we need to use "wearableCamera" on 5.0 and "wearableCamera" on 4.2?

will it be possible to offer a unify paramter?

 

Thank you, and looking forward to hearing from you~

  Hello Kuo-Lun Tang ,

  Thank you for pointing out.

  There is obviously a typo in the article, will fix it.

  For version 4.2 there should be wearableCamera

  Please, see the working example in our repo on GitHub

  https://github.com/networkoptix/nx_open_integrations/blob/master/python/examples/import_to_virtual_camera.py

  For version 5.0 the API have been renamed to virtualCamera.

  Could you please create a screenshot to demonstrate your idea?

  or we have detect the Nx verstion before using the API.....

  You should detect Server version. Here is an API to use /api/moduleInformation. It does not require authentication.
