Translation of camera operations using a management server system

A management server system comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to:
• determine, based on a plurality of inputs from a plurality of cameras, that a camera-generic operation and a respective camera-specific operation for each respective camera of the plurality of cameras correspond to a same action;
• obtain, from a computing device, an input, the input identifying a camera of the plurality of cameras and the camera-generic operation;
• identify a camera type of the camera;
• identify a translation table, wherein the translation table associates the camera-generic operation and a camera-specific operation for cameras having the camera type based on determining that the camera-generic operation and the camera-specific operation correspond to the same action;
• translate the camera-generic operation based on the camera type and the translation table to generate the camera-specific operation;
• and
• provide the camera-specific operation to the camera, wherein providing the camera-specific operation to the camera causes the camera to perform an action corresponding to the camera-specific operation.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• determining, based on a plurality of inputs from a plurality of image sensors, that an image sensor-generic operation and a respective image sensor-specific operation for each respective image sensor of the plurality of image sensors correspond to a same action;
• obtaining, from a computing device, an input, the input identifying an image sensor of the plurality of image sensors and the image sensor-generic operation;
• identifying an image sensor type associated with the image sensor;
• identifying a lookup table, wherein the lookup table associates the image sensor-generic operation and an image sensor-specific operation for image sensors having the image sensor type based on determining that the image sensor-generic operation and the image sensor-specific operation correspond to the same action;
• translating the image sensor-generic operation based on the image sensor type and the lookup table to generate the image sensor-specific operation;
• and
• causing the image sensor-specific operation to be provided to the image sensor, wherein providing the image sensor-specific operation to the image sensor causes the image sensor to perform an action corresponding to the image sensor-specific operation.
