From SDK to Production: Our Experience Building the eConnect Mirasys Deep Integration

We're excited to share the story behind our latest integration milestone: the eConnect Mirasys Deep Integration. As developers, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of bringing two powerful platforms together seamlessly, and this project has been one of our most rewarding experiences yet.

Why Mirasys Caught Our Attention

When we first evaluated potential VMS integrations, Mirasys stood out not just for their robust platform, but for their developer-friendly approach. The Mirasys SDK is genuinely well-designed—clean, well-documented, and with clear examples that made our integration work a pleasure rather than a puzzle to solve.

The Development Experience

What struck us most was how intuitive the Mirasys architecture is for plugin development. Their SDK provides excellent abstractions that let us focus on building great features rather than wrestling with low-level implementation details. The ability to embed our facial recognition tools directly into the Mirasys interface felt natural from day one.

We were particularly impressed with:

  • Clean API design that made sense from the first read
  • Comprehensive documentation with real-world examples
  • Flexible plugin architecture that didn't force us into rigid patterns
  • Responsive support team that understood our goals

Outstanding Support Throughout

The Mirasys support team deserves special recognition. From our initial SDK questions to final integration testing, they were consistently responsive and knowledgeable. When we hit that inevitable "why isn't this working?" moment (every developer knows the one), their team was quick to help us understand the nuances of their platform.

Their willingness to collaborate and provide insights into best practices made a huge difference in our development timeline. It's rare to work with a vendor that truly partners with integrators rather than just providing documentation and hoping for the best.

What We Built

The result is a deep integration that brings eConnect's facial recognition and LPR capabilities directly into the Mirasys interface:

  • Face Recognition Tools: Search by face, search by data, and comprehensive subject management
  • Live Streams: Customizable real-time face and LPR detection streams with PIN functionality
  • Live Alerts: Intelligent notifications with configurable response options
  • Seamless UI Integration: Everything embedded naturally within the Mirasys workflow

Beta Launch - We're Just Getting Started

We're thrilled to announce that the first beta of the eConnect Mirasys Deep Integration is now available! This represents months of development work, close collaboration with the Mirasys team, and extensive testing to ensure we're delivering something truly valuable.

This beta includes all the core functionality that makes the integration powerful, and we're already planning exciting enhancements based on early feedback from our beta users.

Looking Forward

Working with the Mirasys platform has been such a positive experience that we're already exploring additional capabilities for future releases. The SDK's flexibility gives us confidence that we can continue to innovate and add value for shared customers.

Ready to Experience It Yourself?

If you're using Mirasys VMS and want to explore how eConnect's AI-powered recognition capabilities can enhance your operations, we'd love to show you what we've built. The beta is available now, and our team is standing by to help you get started.
