Direction or Coverage direction

[insdeck]

Hi.
Is there any way to export (get) camera coordinates and also camera direction or coverage direction? It seems there is possibility to Set Direction but not Get in CameraReport.

Hi @insdeck ,

Here is something I put together a while back. It will output this:

By default, it dumps to Out-GridView. You can change that on the last line though.

$camInfo = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[PSCustomObject]

$directionArray = @(
    "N"
    "NNE"
    "NE"
    "ENE"
    "E"
    "ESE"
    "SE"
    "SSE"
    "S"
    "SSW"
    "SW"
    "WSW"
    "W"
    "WNW"
    "NW"
    "NNW"
)

foreach ($cam in Get-VmsCamera)
{
    $gisPoint = $cam.GisPoint
    if ($gisPoint.Substring(7, $GisPoint.Length - 8) -match "[0-9]")
    {
        $long = $gisPoint.Substring(7, $GisPoint.Length - 8).Split(" ")[0]
        $lat = $gisPoint.Substring(7, $GisPoint.Length - 8).Split(" ")[1]
    } else
    {
        $long = $null
        $lat = $null
    }

    if ($gisPoint -eq "POINT EMPTY")
    {
        $fov = $null
        $directionCardinal = $null
        $directionDegrees = $null
        $depth = $null
    } else
    {
        $fov = $cam.CoverageFieldOfView * 360
        
        if ($cam.CoverageDirection -ge 0)
        {
            $directionDegrees = $cam.CoverageDirection * 360
        } elseif ($cam.CoverageDirection -lt 0)
        {
            $directionDegrees = 360 + ($cam.CoverageDirection * 360)
        }

        if (($cam.CoverageDirection * 360) -ne 360)
        {
            $index = [math]::Floor($directionDegrees / 22.5)
            $directionCardinal = $directionArray[$index]
        } elseif (($cam.CoverageDirection * 360) -eq 360)
        {
            $directionCardinal = "N"
        } else
        {
            $directionCardinal = $null
        }
        $depth = $cam.CoverageDepth * 3.28084
    }

    $row = [PSCustomObject]@{
        CamName = $cam.Name
        Latitude = $lat
        Longitude = $long
        "FOV (Degrees)" = $fov
        "Direction (Cardinal)" = $directionCardinal
        "Direction (Degrees)" = $directionDegrees
        "Depth (Feet)" = $depth
    }
    $camInfo.Add($row)
}
$camInfo | Out-GridView
