The Objects tab shows which information and data are available on the SNMP server.

The tree structure shows the OID tree (object identification). The SNMP objects are:

• • Objects about SNMP library

  • Objects about ibaCapture general properties like the version and dongle information

  • Objects about the current status like an IsRecording object

  • Objects about the license

  • Objects about the configured cameras

  • Objects about connections

<Create MIB files>

You start the generation of MIB (management information base) files using this button and you have to specify a storage directory. 2 MIB files are generated by the ibaCapture Server:

• • IBA-GENERAL-MIB.txt: This file contains the objects that are common to all iba products.

  • IBA-PRODUCT-IBACAPTURE-MIB.txt: This file contains the ibaCapture specific objects.

The following is displayed under the OID tree for the currently selected node or object:

• • Full OID

  • MIB name

  • Current value

  • Data type

To access the information in the cameras table, the OID has to be extended by the number of the camera on the server.

So, the base OID to get the camera name would be 1.3.6.1.4.1.45120.6.1.3.1.1.

Now to get the name of the first camera, append “.0” to the OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.45120.6.1.3.1.1.0

If a camera index is specified that can’t be matched to a camera on the ibaCapture Server, “NULL2” will be returned as value.

The OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.45120.6.1.3.1.2.x allows retrieving the current camera status. The result can have the following values:

• disabled (0): The camera is disabled in the configuration.

• checkingConfig (1): Validation of the camera configuration.

• configError (2): The configuration failed validation.

• storageLoadingIndex (3): Loading of the index file for video storage.

• storageCreatingVideo (4): Checking and/or creating the video files for video storage.

• storageInitializeDB (5): Initializing the database for protected/locked video sequences.

• storageError (6): Storage initialization failed.

• storageInitialized (7): Storage initialized successfully.

• startRecording (8): Starting the camera recording.

• noVideo (9): No incoming video detected.

• recording (10): The camera is recorded.

• recordingError (11): An error occurred while recording.

• stopped (12): Recording for the camera has been stopped.

• noLicense (13): No license is currently available for the camera.

• recordingDisabled (14): Recording is disabled for the camera.

• recordingDisabledLiveAvailable (15): Recording is disabled for the camera, but live streams are allowed.

• storageCheckingFiles (16): Performing a consistency check for the index and video files of the camera.
