How to handle alarms, by sending a Contact ID message to an alarm monitoring center in C#

This example demonstrates how you can connect your Windows Forms or WPF Application written in C# to an IP camera with motion detector. On this webpage you can also find more information on how to register your program to a PBX and send a Contact ID message to an alarm monitoring center. To implement this example, you need to have Ozeki Camera SDK installed, and a reference to OzekiSDK.dll should be added to your Visual Studio project.

How to handle alarms, by sending a Contact ID message to an alarm monitoring center using C#?

To establish the connection properly between your application and an IP camera you should apply the same code snippet what you have used in the example (How to connect to an IP camera device using C#?). Important: you should study this article in order to find out how to setup your Windows Forms/WPF Application correctly.

Getting started

To get started it is recomended to Download and Install the latest version of Ozeki Camera SDK. After installation you can find the example code discussed in this page with full source code in the following location on your harddisk:

Download Ozeki Camera SDK:	https://camera-sdk.com/p_6513-download-onvif-ozeki-camera-sdk-for-c-sharp.html
Windows forms version:	C:\Program Files\Ozeki\Ozeki SDK\examples.zip\Examples\Other\ Motion_Detection_Contact_ID_WF\Motion_Detection_Contact_ID_WF.sln
WPF version:	C:\Program Files\Ozeki\Ozeki SDK\examples.zip\Examples\Other\ Motion_Detection_Contact_ID_WPF\Motion_Detection_Contact_ID_WPF.sln

To compile this example you will need Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your computer.

You should also visit the How to setup viewer side motion detection and the previous How to handle alarms, by making a VoIP phone call to an alarm monitoring center with text to speech article before you begin to study this function. You can find a detailed guide about the Contact ID protocol at the Contact ID protocol page. The official documentation of the Contact ID protocol can also be found here: Contact ID standards.

The additional statments and methods of this example are the following:

private ContactIdHandler _contactIdHandler: ContactIdHandler object

If you do not use a codec applying lossless compression, the DTMF frequencies may be distorted during the communication with the Contact ID protocol. Therefore you should use PCMA or PCMU codecs. In this program we call the EnablePCMA() method to use only the PCMA codec:

_softphone.EnableCodec(8);

It is also necessary to create a ContactIdHandler type object that needs to subscribe to the ContactIdSendFailed and ContactIdSendSuccessful events. When the ContactIdSendFailed event occurs, it means that the sending of the alarm (that is the contact ID) is failed. For instance, the kissoff signal is not received. When the ContactIdSendSuccessful event occurs, it means that the sending of the alarm has been successful. In this event the call will be hung up.

When the call is established the _contactIdHandler object should be attached to the call and connected to the _audioSender and _audioReceiver objects with the help of the _connector. After this you should call the Start() method:

_audioReceiver.AttachToCall(_call);
_audioSender.AttachToCall(_call);
InitializeContactIdHandler();
_connector.Connect(_contactIdHandler, _audioSender);
_connector.Connect(_audioReceiver, _contactIdHandler);
_contactIdHandler.Start();

In the InitializeContactIdHandler() method you should subscribe for the events and call the SendNotification() method:

_contactIdHandler.SendNotification(886, ContactIdEventQualifier.NewEvent, 130, 1, 22);
// send the Contact ID alarm notification

This example program will send DTMF Contact ID sequences according to their function: account number, event qualifier, event code, partition number, zone number.

When the call is finished you should disconnect the established connections and stop the contactIdHandler by calling the Stop() method:

_audioReceiver.Detach();
_audioSender.Detach();
_connector.Disconnect(_contactIdHandler, _audioSender);
_connector.Disconnect(_audioReceiver, _contactIdHandler);
_contactIdHandler.ContactIdSendSuccessful -=_contactIdHandler_ContactIdSendSuccessful;
_contactIdHandler.ContactIdSendFailed -= _contactIdHandler_ContactIdSendFailed;
_contactIdHandler.Stop();

If you wish to receive Contact ID messages, please study the tutorial that describes. how to receive a Contact ID alert in C#.

Code 1 - Sending a Contact ID message to an alarm monitoring center example in C#

Please note that none of the cancel and disconnect methods are included in the example because of the demonstrating intent and briefness of the article.

GUI

Figure 1 - The graphical user interface of your application

After the successful implementation of the functions and the GUI elements, the application will work properly. Pressing the connect button will load in the image of the IP camera device connected to your PC into the panel that you can see on the picture. By pressing the Register button you can register the SIP account to a PBX. If the registration was successful and motion was detected, the program sends a Contact ID message to an alarm monitoring center. It will be indicated in label's text.

Below you can find the code that belongs to the interface of the previously presented application. With the help of this section your Windows Forms Application will be able to work properly.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that the following features will only work if your IP camera supports the given function. You should check the user manual of your IP camera to make sure it supports the feature that you wish to implement in C#.

FAQ

Below you can find the answers for the most frequently asked questions related to this topic:

How can I get the URL of the camera?

You can get the URL from the producer of the camera. (In the 10th tutorial you can find information on how to create an own IP camera discoverer program.)
I have not managed to build the solution. How to solve it?
- Please set the Target framework property of the project to .NET 4.0.
- You should add the OzekiSDK.dll to the references of the solution.
- Please import the missing classes.
My alarm monitoring center did not get the Contact ID message. Why?
- Please make sure that your PBX is configured properly.
- You should check whether the dialed number is valid.
- Please make sure your registration data are valid.
