Release Notes

  • Changes relative to the previous release 5.1.0.37095 which was invalidated:
  • BUG FIXES:
    • Motion could stop working after upgrade to 5.1 if analytic storage location had incorrect permissions. Fixed.
  • ———————————————————-
  • BREAKING CHANGES AND KNOWN ISSUES:
    • Support for Windows 8.1 will be discontinued in the next release. Systems on Windows 8.1 may not be able to update to the next release.
    • Mobile 22.4 is not compatible with VMS 5.1.
    • Support for Ubuntu 16.04 was discontinued.
    • Support for macOS 10.14 and 10.15 were discontinued.
  • OPERATING SYSTEMS/PLATFORMS:
    • Added Ubuntu 22.04 support.
    • Added MacOS 13 support.
  • NEW FEATURES:
    • Cross-system layouts:
      • Added the ability to view cameras/devices from different Cloud systems on a single layout.
      • Such layouts can only be displayed in the Desktop Client.
      • Cloud users can set up and save such layouts but cannot share them to other users.
      • Cross System layouts cannot be used with VideoWall, Showreels or automated with Rules.
    • Camera replacement:
      • It is now possible to replace a camera with another camera from the same server.
      • Name, archive, general and advanced settings, recording settings, PTZ settings, event rules, analytics and camera access rights will be transferred to a new camera.
      • Motion Detection settings, 2-way Audio will not be transferred.
      • The current archive from the old camera will still be accessible.
      • This action can be undone only when the old camera goes back to online state and Server discovers it.
      • Camera replacement can be done only by Owner and Administrators.
      • Camera replacement is not supported for:
        • Virtual cameras
        • Speakers
        • NVRs
        • IO modules
        • Multi-sensor cameras
        • Unauthorized cameras
        • Offline cameras that appear after reindexing the archive.
    • Added a possibility to download the Desktop Client and Server logs remotely (System Administration -> Logs Settings). Users can configure logging and download logs.
    • Added a possibility to choose the specific ONVIF profile for cameras (the “Expert” tab). The ONVIF profile list is determined ONLY when adding the camera to the server. If reconfigure ONVIF profiles afterwards (on the camera itself), they will not be reflected in the Desktop Client.
  • IMPROVEMENTS:
    • Min/Max archive retention period is in minutes, hours and days now.
    • Motion DB was moved from the system storage to the archive storage.
    • Server connections to/disconnections from the Cloud are now logged in the Audit Trail.
    • Added a power management setting that allows computers to sleep while the Desktop Client is still open.
    • Showreels no longer display a title bar on top with the camera name.
    • Scheduled database backup has been disabled by default on ARM devices.
    • Added support for MPEG4 RTSP video streams.
    • Bookmarks and object attributes could be found only if a text matched the one from the beginning of the word. Now search can be performed by a text in the middle of the string (3 symbols minimum).
    • Specific ports for viewing a Camera web page can be redefined on the “Expert” tab in Camera settings.
    • The “Do HTTP request” action now supports PATCH requests again (this was possible in 4.2, but due to API upgrade was not implemented in 5.0).
    • The “Use source camera” option is added to all camera-related actions.
    • The sound duration for the “Play Sound” and “Repeat Sound” actions was increased from 10 to 30 seconds.
    • The maximum value for LogicalID is set to 999999.
    • Added a new system notification that local storage is being used for analytic and motion data.
    • Mobile user manual was added to the desktop client installation package.
    • The “Show text overlay” action can show more text.
    • Now users with the Administrator role can initiate the “Create Backup” and “Restore Backup” operations. The “ownerApiForAdmins” Server configuration option is introduced and available in Webadmin (advanced options, default value is false). ATTENTION! This is potentially dangerous and may compromise the system owner!
    • Backup & Restore was moved to the “Advanced” tab of the “System Administration” dialog.
    • If requesting RTSP streams from Server, it is possible to specify Audio Codec parameters.
    • Added the averaged bitrate property for the cameras statistics health report. This information is useful for preparing for the Cloud Storage(SaaS) business model.
    • Introduced the “isFilePathPrefixedWithServerId” Server configuration option (default value of 1). It adds a Server GUID to the archive path when recording new footage. Originally implemented in the 5.0 release. This setting can be changed without losing the archive. VMS Server checks both folders for reading. Users can revert the storage structure back to the old format if desired.
    • Overall server performance was improved:
      • The number of requests being sent by Desktop Client to Server was significantly reduced which should improve performance for big systems.
    • “Do HTTP request” was renamed to “Do HTTP(S) request”.
    • Added a general support of all USB joysticks to control PTZ and layouts (Windows Only). Once a joystick is connected to the Desktop Client machine, the corresponding menu item will show up in the Main Menu.
    • Added security presets to the “New System” setup wizard:
      • Standard Security Level:
        • “Encrypt video traffic to desktop and mobile client” is disabled
        • Camera credentials are shown in Camera settings

Release Notes:

  • BREAKING CHANGES AND KNOWN ISSUES:
    • Users on VMS Mobile 21.1 or earlier can no longer access systems running VMS 5.0 or later and must update to at least VMS Mobile 22.1.
    • M1 Mac users will not be able to connect to their older Systems via the Desktop Client’s compatibility mode.
    • Login with cloud credentials does not work without internet connections anymore.
    • Features unavailable on the Web Client and Mobile Client:
      • Archive encryption
      • Last minute recording
    • The Resource Panel and Notification Panel can no longer be pinned/unpinned.
    • Removed context menu and hotkeys for web pages:
      • Enter – Maximize Item
      • I – Show Info
      • Del – Remove from Layout
    • Bosch analytics. Support suspended for:
      • Blurry signal
      • Flame detection
      • Signal loss
      • Smoke detection
  • OPERATING SYSTEMS/PLATFORMS
    • Added support for Macs with the Apple M1 chip. A separate distribution is provided:
      • The regular distribution can be installed on x64-based Macs and M1 Macs but is not optimized for M1 Macs. Note that this distribution is not available for versions 4.2 and older so Mac M1 users will not be able to connect to their old systems in Compatibility Mode.
      • The M1 distribution cannot be installed on x64-based Macs.
    • The Desktop Client now works on Mac computers with Apple Silicon (e.g. Apple M1 chip).
    • Added support for MacOS 12 (Monterey).
    • Added support for Windows 11.
    • Added support for Windows Server 2022.
  • NEW FEATURES:
    • All internet requests use OS SSL/TLS Certificate Validation to prevent MITM attacks, including but not limited to VMS updates, VMS-Cloud communications, license validation, statistics, etc.
    • All Server connections use SSL/TLS Certificate pinning to render MITM attacks impossible:
      • Servers exchange certificates on merge and validate them on every connection.
      • Clients pin certificates on the first connection and validate them on each subsequent connection.
      • Clients using Cloud Connect validate Servers through the Cloud.
      • Clients may use strict mode to limit their connections to only trusted Servers.
    • Servers and Clients use new session-based (bearer token) authentication by default.
      • For local users, old authentication is disabled by default, which prevents MD5 password storage in the local DB.
      • For cloud users, OAuth2 authentication is used by default, which prevents a Server owner from compromising a user’s Cloud password and renders Offline Cloud Login attacks impossible.
      • Two-factor authentication may be enabled on the Cloud to make OAuth2 authentication even more secure.
      • Many Server API calls require a fresh user session to execute, which requires password confirmation at the API level.
    • Redesigned Server Web Admin:
      • Users can be added and removed. Passwords can be changed.
      • Three new tabs:
        • “Servers” – storage information and ability to add external storage.
        • “Cameras” – camera information, ability to enable recording and change motion sensitivity.
        • “Licenses” – all license information and ability to activate licenses.
    • Independent Desktop Client Updates:
      • The Desktop Client distributive can now be released separate from the Server distributive.
      • The Desktop Client can automatically download and install the latest version of the Desktop Client compatible with the current Server version.
    • The Objects Panel was redesigned to provide a user-friendly object search function.

        • System owner (only for cloud systems)
        • User’s email (only for cloud systems)
    • Users can now organize cameras and other resources into custom groups in the Resource Tree. To create a group, select two or more resources, right-click the selection, and click Create Group.
    • Video Preview Thumbnail (only for Windows and macOS) – displayed when hovering the mouse cursor over the timeline.
    • Archive Encryption – if enabled, the video archive will be encrypted and viewable only in the Desktop Client, Mobile Client, Web Admin, and Cloud Portal.
    • Audio Video Mapping:
      • The audio source from a camera or I/O module can be used in place of a microphone for another camera.
      • The 2-way audio button can be used on cameras without speakers to transmit the audio to another device that has a speaker.
    • 360° panorama images and videos that use equidistant projection can now be dewarped in the Desktop Client.
    • Using the Desktop Client, web pages which are not typically accessible on the client computer can now be proxied via the Server.

    • Client Javascript API embedded in Web Pages to enable additional functionality:
      • Open/close cameras
      • Play/pause videos
    • Added support for ZFS (Zettabyte File System) to the Server.
  • IMPROVEMENTS:
    • New system setting and general improvements to HTTPS cameras:
      • Some cameras did not work in the HTTPS-only mode. Fixed.
      • Introduced a system-wide setting that forces HTTPS only communication for cameras (System Administration -> “Use only HTTPS to connect to cameras”). If this setting is enabled, the server will drop connections to cameras that do not support HTTPS or a supported proprietary API protocol.
    • Improved “Camera Settings” dialogs:
      • Added new recording modes to the Recording Schedule:
      • Object only
      • Object + Low res

      • The Recording tab better alerts the user when there are not enough licenses on the system.
      • A warning banner on the Analytics tab will be shown when recording is not enabled on the camera.
      • PTZ sensitivity can now be modified in the Expert tab.
      • The mount correction angle preview now shows a virtual rotation of the camera around its optical axis.

Release Notes

  • CRITICAL COMPATIBILITY NOTICE:
  • All users must update to the v20.1 Mobile release in order to be able to connect to a v4.1 System via the Mobile Client. Mobile Clients v19.6 or earlier will not be able to access Systems running v4.1 or later.
  • BREAKING CHANGES
    • MacOS 10.11, 10.12, 10.13 support was dropped: Desktop Client will not work on those OS.
  • NEW FEATURES
    • Push Notifications (requires Mobile Client v20.1 or later):
      • Rules can be created in WAVE to send Push Notifications to mobile devices.
      • Users can receive push notifications from multiple systems and turn on/off notifications for specific systems.
      • In order to receive Push Notifications, users must be logged into the Cloud in Mobile Client.
      • Users can create custom text for notifications in the Rules Engine via Desktop Client.
    • Health Monitoring – Available in the Server Web Admin interface and Cloud Portal, Health Monitoring provides administrators detailed information about a System’s health, including, but not limited to:
      • Alerts – automatically detected / identified problems with a System
      • System Info (# of servers, channels, storage located, users, and version)
      • Servers (storage detailed state, CPU usage, NICs state, hardware spec, etc.)
      • Cameras (online/offline state, resolution, fps, quality, firmware version, etc.)
      • Storage Locations (path, server, type, status, read/write rate, size, usage %)
      • Network Interfaces (name, server, state, IP address, I/O rates)
      • Desktop Clients connected to Servers.
    • New Embedded Browser – Desktop Client now uses a full-featured embedded Chromium browser (v.65.0.3325.230) to display web pages on layouts:
      • Download Files on Web-Page – the embedded browser in Desktop Client now supports downloading and saving files.
      • Cameras Web Page in Camera Settings Dialog – camera web pages can now be opened up in the Camera Settings dialog allowing users to configure/access camera web pages inside Desktop Client even when on a different Subnet (i.e., remote connections / outside the LAN / WAN). Server acts like an HTTP(s) proxy from cameras to Desktop Clients.
    • Video Wall Failover – If a Server with Video Wall licenses fails, the video wall continues working for 7 days. After that, it will be blocked with the error message “Not enough licenses”.
    • Analytics Events Region of Interest (ROI) – Now it is possible to draw lines, boxes, polygons and more when configuring a video analytic from the Desktop Client (no need to go to the camera web page).
      • Currently supports Hanwha AI cameras using firmware version 1.41.xx or higher.
  • PLUGIN / METADATA SDK ENABLED FEATURES
    • Analytics Events Region of Interest (ROI):
      • Now it is possible to enable configuration of 3rd party video analytics and draw lines, boxes, polygons and more from the software.
      • Minimum and maximum size of detected objects can be configured from the software.
      • ROI editor is available in the “Camera settings” dialog and visualized on the video.
      • This feature is available for developers using the Metadata SDK.
  • IMPROVEMENTS
    • Best Server Selection (while connecting to a Cloud-connected Multi-Server System):
      • In prior releases, Desktop Client would connect to a random available server via Cloud. Now Cloud connections are routed through the Server with the best uplink.
      • Added the ability for users to specify the preferred Server for connections. The configured Desktop Client will attempt to connect to the preferred Server first, and if it is not reachable, it will detect and connect via the Server with the best uplink.
    • 2-way Audio API – Allows third-party web clients to send audio (from client microphone) to and get audio from cameras.
    • Added Time Zone option for Virtual Cameras – Time Zone can now be specified for virtual cameras. If “Time Zone” is set to “Auto”, then the time zone is defined by metadata or UTC if there’s no time zone specified in the file. If set to “Client”, the Time Zone is defined by the desktop client.
    • Server Side Motion Detection improved – False positives detection introduced to increase accuracy of detected motion events (e.g., turning on/off lights or switching camera day/night mode are now likely to be ignored)
    • Additional action parameter placeholders for the “Do HTTP request” action – Placeholders can be added to the HTTP POST request body to be automatically replaced by the corresponding values from Analytics Event parameters. This feature is only applicable to Analytics and Generic Events. Placeholders syntax:
      • {event.cameraId} – replaced by the camera ID (e.g., {{{ad1d1b6c-7013-0049-6fd4-ff15450e4716}}})
      • {event.cameraName} – replaced by the camera name (e.g., PND-9080R)
      • {event.eventType} – replaced by the event type (e.g., nx.stub.objectInTheArea or nx.stub.lineCrossing)
      • {event.eventName} – replaced by the event name (e.g., Object in the area or Line crossing)
      • {event.caption} – replaced by the caption (e.g., “Line crossing – impulse event (caption)”)
      • {event.description} – replaced by the description (e.g., “Line crossing – impulse event (description)”).
    • Improved MacOS performance and introduced an experimental setting to limit frame rate and reduce CPU load (see Local Settings -> Advanced).
    • Improved cloud connectivity on certain network environments.
    • Added the ability to pin the Timeline in full-screen mode:
      • When the Timeline is pinned it will remain fixed on the screen.
      • If the Timeline is pinned in full-screen mode and the user leaves full-screen it will be pinned for all cameras on the layout when the user returns to full-screen mode.
    • Database backups are now categorized into the following types:
      • Created after system merge
      • Created after updates
      • Initiated via API
      • Scheduled.
    • “Camera selection” dialog was optimized for large systems.
    • Added text search in the “Event log” dialog.
    • “Global Notification Settings” button was removed from the “Show Notification” action.
    • Added mpegts files to the list of supported files in Desktop Client.
    • It is now possible to disable port 80 on firewalls completely and use port 443 for HTTPS connection.
    • Added the ability to search by object types in the Notification Panel. <param>: <value> returns object where <param> has <value>. For instance, if there are analytic plugins that recognize t-shirt color, gender, and glasses, it is possible to search for analytic events by “T-Shirt: White”, “Gender: Male”, “Glasses: True”.
    • The default playback state of a camera opened from the Notification Panel has changed. Now a camera remains on Pause once opened.
    • Users are now imported from LDAP with their Email addresses.
    • It is now possible to open multiple instances of the Desktop Client by double clicking on the desktop shortcut.
    • Added information about remaining license deactivations on “License details” and “Confirmation” dialog.
  • NEW DEVICE SUPPORT/IMPROVEMENTS/FIXES
