4 Chapter 1 Overview MIP HikAssistant plug-ins are provided by Hikvision for the Milestone Integration Platform SDK. They can provide basic services for the interaction between Hikvision devices and the Milestone server, convert the data in Hikvision protocol format to Milestone-defined format, and analyze the data obtained from the Milestone server. 1.1 Introduction The face applications include face capture, face picture comparison, and face picture search. The face alarms can be triggered by captured face pictures and face picture comparison results and uploaded by Hikvision cameras (including capture cameras and DeepinView series cameras), and then you can receive them on Milestone XProtect Smart Client. For captured face pictures stored in the facial recognition server, you can search for the face pictures by specific conditions, or upload a local face picture and set the similarity to search by picture. 1.2 Runtime Environment The software and hardware environment in which the Milestone XProtect client software can be installed and run are required, and the system environment for installing MIP HikAssistant plug-ins is the same as that for installing the Milestone XProtect client software with version The Milestone XProtect client software cannot be installed in the computer running with 32-bit operating system. For details about the supported runtime environment, refer to the User Manual of Milestone XProtect VMS. 1.3 Product Scopes The product scopes show the software versions, types, and models of Hikvision products that support interacting with the Milestone server by using MIP HikAssistant plug-ins. The recommended Milestone products are the client software of Milestone XProtect series with Corporate version 2018 or above. The following Hikvision devices are available for the face applications. 1
