function Get-CameraReport { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets detailed information for all cameras in the current site .DESCRIPTION This camera report is a rewrite of the previous camera report available in version 20.3.450930 and earlier. This version makes use of runspaces to significantly improve the time taken to generate the report, and includes several additional properties in each row that were not present in prior versions. Use Get-CameraReport to get a snapshot in time of most of the configuration properties for each camera and the state of cameras in the VMS. For example, you can use this report to see the current video retention for each camera, or whether any cameras are in media overflow or have communication errors. You might pipe this report to CSV and open the report in Excel, group by Recording Server, and get a sense for the number of cameras per Recording Server or create a pivot table on cameras and their resolutions and frame rates. Thanks to the 60+ columns of information provided for each camera in this report, there are innumerable ways in which you could use it to help identify problems, maintain a consistent configuration, or report data to other departments. Column Notes - State: This is returned by Get-ItemState and represents the Milestone Event Server's understanding of the state of the camera. The physical camera may be responding to ping but still be 'Not Responding' in Milestone due to other issues. - MediaOverflow: This means the Recording Server is unable to keep up with the amount of video being recorded, and is dropping video frames from one or more cameras. Any time this value is true, you should investigate Recording Server performance. - GpsCoordinates: This value will be returned as 'Unknown' if not set. The value comes from the Camera object's GisPoint property. - MediaDatabaseBegin: This timestamp represents the time and date, in UTC, of the first image in the media database. If your video retention is 30 days, you should expect this timestamp to be at least 30 days ago under normal circumstances. - MediaDatabaseEnd: This timestamp represents the time and date, in UTC, of the last recorded image in the media database. If your camera is set to record always, this timestamp should be very recent. - UsedSpaceInBytes: This value represents the disk space utilization for the camera on the Recording Server to which it belongs, including data in any live and archive storage to which the camera is assigned. - PercentRecordedOneWeek: This optional value is only set when you include the -IncludeRecordingStats parameter. It may take significantly longer to generate the report when including this information. The value will be the percentage of time over the previous 7 days for which recordings exist. When recording on motion, in an environment with 50% motion, this value will normally be a little higher than 50% to account for pre and post recording buffers. - LastModified: This should represent the last configuration change made to the camera. - Password: This optional value is only set when you include the -IncludePasswords parameter. - HTTPSEnabled: For cameras supporting HTTPS and where HTTPS is enabled at the hardware level in Management Client, you will see the value "YES". Otherwise, you will see the value "NO". - Firmware: This value may NOT be accurate. For example, if the firmware has been upgraded since the camera was added to Milestone, the value may still reflect the old firmware version. This is only because Milestone may only update our record of the firmware when the camera is added or replaced in Management Client. You might consider this value as an indication that the firmware is 'at least' X.Y for example. - DriverNumber: This represents the Milestone ID number for the device driver used for this camera. When adding hardware using Import-HardwareCsv or Add-Hardware, this is the number Milestone would expect when specifying which driver to use. - DriverRevision: This is an internal value representing the driver number for the specific device driver within the currently installed device pack. - RecordingPath: This value is always relative to the Recording Server. If you see a drive letter F:, for example, then it refers to the F: drive on the Recording Server to which the camera is assigned. - Snapshot: This optional value is only set when you include the -IncludeSnapshots parameter. The value will be an [image] object and it will be up to you to decide what to do with the value once you have it. Exporting to CSV for example will result in the string [drawing.image] rather than an actual image or image data. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-CameraReport | Export-Csv -Path .\camera-report.csv -NoTypeInformation Gets a camera report and saves the contents to a CSV file in the current folder. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-CameraReport -IncludeRecordingStats | Export-Csv -Path .\camera-report.csv -NoTypeInformation Gets a camera report with an additional call to Get-CameraRecordingStats which will provide the percentage of time recorded over the last 7 days for each camera. This uses runspaces to help process the requests in parallel and uses Get-SequenceData under the surface to gather the recording sequence data to determine how much time out of the last week was spent recording for each camera. .NOTES If you see the value "NotAvailable" it typically means the camera was disabled, there were no recordings available, the state of the camera is not "Responding", or the property value requested, such as Resolution, does not exist in the stream properties for the camera. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( # Specifies one or more Recording Servers from which to generate a camera report [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems.RecordingServer[]] $RecordingServer, # Include plain text hardware passwords in the report [Parameter()] [switch] $IncludePlainTextPasswords, # Specifies that disabled cameras should be excluded from the results [Parameter()] [switch] $IncludeDisabled, # Specifies that a live JPEG snapshot should be requested for each camera.
