New in Ivideon Server 3.7.0 Build 2642 (Sep 21, 2018)
- Multiple quality levels for recording and playback in the local archive:
- When you’re watching your archive locally, you’ll notice how smoothly it’s going even when you have layouts with a bunch of cameras. The load placed on your PC will stay reasonable, with that said, while your LAN traffic still won’t see much of a hike when you push playback speeds higher.
- Support for random ONVIF events:
- Modern IP cameras and DVRs offer access to all kinds of additional information in the shape of events for a variety of situations: from signal loss to notifications about items people have left behind in the field of view. We added complete support for a range of ONVIF events to Ivideon Server. For each or multiple random ONVIF events, one of the preset events in our system—motion, sound, or a notification—can be generated. To take one example, users with advanced Bosch cameras can record to a local or cloud-based archive triggered by video analytics events.
- Intel Quick Sync Video support used to recode for Intel GPUs in Windows:
- Recoding is tough work that puts a lot of pressure on the server’s processor, and increasing loads means decreasing the number of cameras each server can handle. Intel Quick Sync is a great tool for reducing those loads. If you’re wondering why we focused on Windows-based technology, it’s because that’s the OS most often deployed for cameras and other video capture devices that could use a hardware method for coding the stream coming from them. The function is active whenever Ivideon Server is launched as an app. In the future, recoding will also be available when Ivideon Server is launched as a service.
- Restoring video server configurations from command prompt sans GUI:
- Real Linux admins don’t need a graphical interface—they can restore configurations stored in the cloud using nothing but the console.
- Lots of other little tweaks and fixes
- There’s now support for Linux Ubuntu 18.04 and higher, preview streams are identified and used for ONVIF cameras, IDIS devices are good to go, and the sound works correctly with PCM16 BE.
New in Ivideon Server 3.6.0 Build 2352 (Jan 30, 2018)
- Now, many cameras connected to Ivideon Server can be configured directly through the cloud in your web application: most Hikvision, Nobelic, and Dahua cameras, and a number of Oco Pro models. You can control resolution, bit rate, and frames per second for the main stream and substream. You can turn a microphone on or off, configure an IR LED, set the time zone, and turn a camera on or off.
- Edge Storage mode is available for camera series from Nobelic, Dahua, Hikvision, and several Oco Pro models. It lets you work with a local archive on a camera connected to Ivideon Server. So you can install Ivideon Server on an inexpensive device without a hard drive, and record directly on the camera itself.
- You can create several independent local video archives, including ones on different disks, all with their own settings. This way you can more efficiently distribute the load when recording and reading on a system with a large number of cameras and multiple storage disks.
- Support for hardware video conversion with a built-in graphics chipset, which significantly improves Ivideon Server’s performance: even more cameras on the same hardware.
- Extended support for the V4L subsystem (Video for Linux), for Linux users.
- Improving the module for working with cameras using the ONVIF protocol: support for non-standard ports, ONVIF by HTTPS, and an expanded list of cameras using ONVIF.
- PTZ control right in the Ivideon Server configuration dialog.
- Manually adding and configuring camera substreams on Ivideon Server for cameras not on the list of supported hardware. This enables more efficient use of system resources, for example when analyzing a low-resolution substream with a motion detector.
New in Ivideon Server 3.5.9 Build 2084 (Sep 17, 2017)
- We reworked the subsystem for recording to a local archive, raising it to a new level of performance and reliability. This is particularly relevant when simultaneously recording from a large number of cameras: Their quantity can now be even greater, on the same hardware.
- We improved camera support using the ONVIF protocol, which nowadays is among the features of all modern IP cameras, DVRs, and NVRs.
- Now Ivideon Server automatically finds and connects most ONVIF-compatible cameras and receives more information from them about motion detection and substreams on this protocol, which significantly reduces the load on the processor and lets you connect even more cameras.
- Now you can manage IP cameras that support PTZ through ONVIF.
- We redesigned the tool for finding and adding new devices, making it even more convenient.
- We corrected the errors you reported to us that sometimes occurred when recording on a schedule to a local archive.
- We resolved a rare but very unpleasant problem where Ivideon Server disconnected from the cloud when certain antivirus programs and firewalls were running at the same time.
- We eliminated 29 less serious but unpleasant errors. Many thanks to the users who helped us do this.
- We carried out a comprehensive and thorough testing of this version of Ivideon Server, spending over two months on it, and now you can be sure of its reliability and stability.
