SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill removes the need to navigate the VSS web interface for camera, stream, recording, snapshot, and storage operations by interacting directly with the VIOS API.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sensor Management: List, add, inspect, and manage cameras and RTSP video sources.
  • Stream and Recording Control: Check stream health, start or stop recordings, and retrieve live video information.
  • Media and Storage Operations: Capture snapshots, access temporary playback URLs, inspect recording timelines, and clean up stored media.
  • Operational Troubleshooting: Detect the target host, verify service availability, and diagnose registration or no-signal errors using container and service checks.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to list all configured VSS sensors and report their current stream status using the VIOS API.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage VSS cameras and RTSP streams via API?▼

You can manage VSS cameras and RTSP streams via API by interacting directly with the VIOS API to list sensors, register new video sources, and check stream health without using the web interface.

How do I start and stop video recording for a VSS camera?▼

To start and stop video recording for a VSS camera, use the VIOS API to control recording sessions, retrieve live video information, and inspect recording timelines for managed RTSP streams.

Can I capture live snapshots and retrieve playback URLs through the VIOS API?▼

Yes, you can capture live snapshots and retrieve temporary playback URLs through the VIOS API, which also allows you to inspect recording timelines and perform video storage operations.

What network access is required to manage VSS deployments through the API?▼

Managing VSS deployments through the API requires network access to the VIOS service on port 30888, along with reachable RTSP sources for successful camera registration and stream management.

Why is my VSS camera registration showing a no-signal error?▼

A no-signal error during VSS camera registration can be diagnosed using the API's operational troubleshooting features, which verify service availability, detect the target host, and run container and service checks.

How do I clean up stored media and manage video storage in VSS?▼

You can clean up stored media and manage video storage in VSS by applying the VIOS API to perform direct storage operations, removing saved recordings and snapshots without navigating the web interface.
