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.
  • Redesigned the Desktop Client’s Welcome Screen:
    • View all or a subset of discovered systems by selecting a display mode:
      • All Systems
      • Favorites (shows only favorited systems)
      • Hidden (shows only hidden systems)
    • System sorting priority takes into account the added statuses (Favorite/Hidden)
    • Added an option to search systems by certain attributes:
      • System Name
      • Server Name
      • IP address (from any of the Servers discovered by the Desktop Client)
      • 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.
  • Restore the previous session – states of certain interface elements can be saved and restored after launching the Desktop Client.
  • 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
    • Motion + Object
    • Motion + Object + Low res
    • If the Recording Schedule is invalid, an exclamation mark icon will be displayed in the Resource Tree and a notification with the message “Recording schedule is invalid” will appear in the Notifications Panel. The recording mode will be set to “Always” until the issue is resolved.
    • Added the option to select a camera stream to use for object detection (see Motion tab).
    • Configuring a camera is more straightforward and reduces the chance of making mistakes.
    • The Recording Schedule on auto-discovered cameras comes with the following settings by default:
      • Recording type: Motion Only
      • Quality: High
      • FPS: Max
    • Removed the option “Keep camera streams and profile settings” for RTSP/HTTP streams.

    • 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.
  • The Resource Tree was optimized for large systems and now has a quicker load time on the Desktop Client.

    • Archive associated with one event type: recorded motion, bookmarks, or objects.
    • Archive associated with all combinations of event types:
      • motion and bookmarks
      • bookmarks and objects
      • motion and objects
      • motion, objects, and bookmarks
    • The entire recorded archive
  • Improved tooltips in the Resource Panel:
    • Minimal delay when viewing the video preview thumbnail for cameras with recording enabled.
    • When hovering over a resource, the video preview thumbnail updates every 2-3 seconds.

    • Ctrl (Cmd) + F – selects the search box.
    • Up/down arrow key – shifts selection between the search box and items in the Resource Tree.
  • An order of storage locations on the “Server settings” dialog was changed. Now it’s grouped in the following order and sorted alphabetically:
    • Local
    • USB
    • Network (network)
    • Network (smb)
  • Added new hotkeys for Timeline actions:
    • Press the [ key to set the starting point of a timeline selection based on the mouse pointer’s position over the timeline.
    • Press the ] key to set the ending point of a timeline selection based on the mouse pointer’s position over the timeline.
