What's new in 10-Strike LANState 10.2

Dec 6, 2023

  • Added search for IP cameras that support the ONVIF protocol with the ability to authorize and obtain additional information about the manufacturer, model, firmware, and RTSP links. The function allows you to quickly create a monitoring setup for a video surveillance system with IP cameras and DVR/NVR.

  • Fixed the displacement of icons when adding them to the map.
  • Fixed a bug in the SNMP check, which in some cases caused it to freeze.
