Bookmark filtering by tags did not work if a tag contained the # symbol. Fixed.
On large storage arrays (60TB+), the data could take up all the space ignoring the “Reserve space” value. Fixed.
On network disconnection failover, the fallback Server took over all the cameras within the system before releasing all cameras to their original Servers. Fixed.
Server would repeat actions or duplicate notifications for One-time Analytic Object triggers. Fixed.
The "Push My Screen" option was missing for newly created Video Walls. Fixed.
Non-admin users did lose the ability to view a camera in a shared layout if the camera was replaced. Fixed.
All windows displayed the same timestamp after a preview search was complete. Fixed.
A Cross-System layout could display a loading notice after hours of streaming from another system. Fixed.
Third-party Cylance Memory Protection software running on the same machine could cause the Desktop Client instability. Fixed.
Object search on Any camera only worked for devices connected to the current Server. Fixed.
Systems running on Raspberry Pi could become unstable or reboot after extended use. Fixed.
Web Admin:

Link icons were not shown for some links in the Settings tab. Fixed.
Cloud user was shown incorrectly in Web Admin if the Email contained the substring "null". Fixed.
Licenses block was missing on the Licenses page in Web Admin UI. Fixed.
A password was required to open the API documentation in Web Admin even if a user had been already authenticated. Fixed.
In Web Admin, an archive storage could be selected to store Analytics DB (it should not be possible). Fixed.

API UPDATES:

The Sample Plugin from Metadata SDK could cause the Server crash. Fixed.
API requests did not work if proxying was set up and the request was addressed to the proxy server. Fixed.
Video could not be played back over WebRTC through a relay behind NAT. Fixed.
If an event was called by API (using “createEvent” with the “eventResourceId” parameter), its parameters were not propagated into the action configured in the corresponding Event Rule and no action occurred. Fixed.
The backup database filename was missing the "manual" postfix when the backup was initiated by API. Fixed.

HANWHA ONLY:

Hanwha Intercom: trigger mode is converted to push-to-talk mode.

5.1.0.37133 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 28 Jun 2023

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.
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:

5.0.0.35064 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 20 Jun 2022

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 Raspberry Pi 4.
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.

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 "FPS" and "Quality" fields on the Recording tab will be disabled if "Keep camera streams and profile settings" is enabled or "Allow system to optimize camera settings" is disabled.
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.
Video playback on the Web Client was improved.
Redesigned Fisheye controls - added hotkeys to turn and zoom in/out.
New Archive Backup Options:

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.
“Preview is outdated” text is displayed over the video preview thumbnail if it has not been updated in over 15 minutes.

On cameras with recording enabled, the last-minute of the recording is now available for playback in the Desktop Client.
Added Quick Start Guide to desktop and start menu.
Improved storage management and reduced the chances of storage conflicts when using the same storage path for multiple Servers.
The “Description” column was added to the Bookmark Log.
"Copy Bookmark Text" is now available in the context menu. Use this feature to copy the selected Bookmark's contents from the Bookmark Log in text format.
Added the following hotkeys to interact with the Resource Tree:

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.

The default search filter in the Bookmark Log was changed from one year to one week.
Exporting motion-only video now ignores all gaps between motion events and stitches the separate motion events together to form seamless playback.
Changing your password in the Desktop Client now automatically updates the saved password on the Welcome Screen.
Redesigned the in-client user manual:

Modern look and feel
Improved search tool
Collapsible/expandable topics

In the context menu for Web Pages, "Edit" was renamed to "Web Page Settings".
The visibility of passwords can be toggled (left-click and hold) in the following dialogs: Add Devices, Camera Credentials, LDAP Settings, Login Dialog (Welcome Screen), SMTP simple/advanced Settings, Create User, Add network storage, Connect to Server.
The default search filter in Bookmark Log is now one week instead of one year.
Added an option to Expert Settings for ONVIF cameras to make the server use ONVIF/media2 to get their profiles.
System owners will receive mobile push notifications by default for administrator-related events.

4.2.0.32840 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 27 Apr 2021

Release Notes:

++++++ HOTFIX RELEASE IMPROVEMNTS / BUG FIXES ++++++
ANALYTIC BUG FIXES:

Fixed an issue where analytic events did not show up in the Notification Panel for Hikvision DS-2CD3T56G2-4IS on firmware V5.5.150 build 200927.
Instant analytic events stopped showing up in the Notification Panel after the first time they were triggered. Fixed.

BUG FIXES:

Certain sections of the desktop client had incorrectly rendered UI text on Macs with the M1 SoC. Fixed.
An issue caused the Server to not start on Raspberry Pi 3. Fixed.

Fixed an RTP error that occurred with H.265-encoded primary streams on DW cameras.
Server did not use ONVIF to configure stream settings for Arecont Vision cameras from the Contera Panoramic series (AV08CPD-118, AV20CPD-118, AV8476DN, and AV20476DN) and DUO series (AV4856DN, AV10856DN, and AV16856DN). Fixed.

++++++ 4.2 RELEASE NOTES ++++++
OPERATING SYSTEMS/PLATFORMS

Windows 7 compatibility support ended.
Windows 2008 R2 compatibility support ended.
Added support for MacOS 11 in the desktop client.

NEW FEATURES:

Redesigned PTZ controls - PTZ controls have been redesigned for improved UX.

Advanced PTZ activates only when the Shift key is pressed.

Intel® Quick Sync Video - Intel® Quick Sync Video uses the dedicated media processing capabilities of Intel® Graphics Technology to decode and encode fast, enabling the processor to complete other tasks and improving system responsiveness. Vastly improves the ability of low power hardware (e.g. Intel Atom, Celeron) and the ability of the Desktop Client to decode very high resolution (e.g. 16 MP, 32MP) cameras and streams.

Go to Local Settings in the Desktop Client and check the “Use Hardware Video Decoding” checkbox to enable Intel Quick Sync Video.
“Use Hardware Video Decoding” is unchecked by default.

Fisheye lens projection options - Improve fisheye dewarping precision by selecting the most suitable lens projection type:

Equisolid
Equidistant
Stereographic.

IMPROVEMENTS:

Added Catalan language.
Update packages are now validated before installing to prevent malware injection.
Camera name and export time can now be overlayed onto the footage in the Export Dialog.
Camera name can now be overlayed when capturing a screenshot.
Archived video encoded with H.264 codec and exported to MP4 or AVI format can be played back in Windows Media Player.
Server will re-initialize cameras when packets are not received from the secondary stream for more than 10 seconds.
The maximum value for pre-recording and post-recording actions in camera recording events can now be set up to 600 seconds.
The limitations for pre- and post-recording are changed in Camera Settings: 90s for pre-recording and 300s for post-recording.
Only administrators can see servers in the Desktop Client “About" dialog.
Added the ability to playback audio from all devices on the scene in the Desktop Client.

To enable this feature, open Main Menu > Local Settings > General and select the checkbox next to "Play audio from all cameras on layout".

The Server could not store analytics data on some Ubuntu servers due to selecting partitions which it didn't have write access to. If the Server does not have write access to a particular partition, it can no longer be selected to store analytics data.
”Allow only secure connections” (HTTPS traffic only) is turned on by default.
The in-client web browser now saves user credentials between browser sessions.
Added TLS support for LDAP on Linux-based systems.
Removed the limitation on Video Wall licenses that prevented more than one active direct control session at a time.
Hotkeys changes:

[+] [−] keys are no longer used to zoom in or out on the Layout.
Shift + arrow keys are now used to select a camera on the Layout.

4.2.0.32658 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 17 Mar 2021

Release Notes:

OPERATING SYSTEMS/PLATFORMS

Windows 7 compatibility support ended.
Windows 2008 R2 compatibility support ended.
Added support for MacOS 11 in the desktop client.

NEW FEATURES:

Redesigned PTZ controls - PTZ controls have been redesigned for improved UX.

Advanced PTZ activates only when the Shift key is pressed.

Intel® Quick Sync Video - Intel® Quick Sync Video uses the dedicated media processing capabilities of Intel® Graphics Technology to decode and encode fast, enabling the processor to complete other tasks and improving system responsiveness. Vastly improves the ability of low power hardware (e.g. Intel Atom, Celeron) and the ability of the Desktop Client to decode very high resolution (e.g. 16 MP, 32MP) cameras and streams.

Go to Local Settings in the Desktop Client and check the “Use Hardware Video Decoding” checkbox to enable Intel Quick Sync Video.
“Use Hardware Video Decoding” is unchecked by default.

Fisheye lens projection options - Improve fisheye dewarping precision by selecting the most suitable lens projection type:

Equisolid
Equidistant
Stereographic.

IMPROVEMENTS:

Added Catalan language.
Update packages are now validated before installing to prevent malware injection.
Camera name and export time can now be overlayed onto the footage in the Export Dialog.
Camera name can now be overlayed when capturing a screenshot.
Archived video encoded with H.264 codec and exported to MP4 or AVI format can be played back in Windows Media Player.
Server will re-initialize cameras when packets are not received from the secondary stream for more than 10 seconds.
The maximum value for pre-recording and post-recording actions in camera recording events can now be set up to 600 seconds.
The limitations for pre- and post-recording are changed in Camera Settings: 90s for pre-recording and 300s for post-recording.
Only administrators can see servers in the Desktop Client “About" dialog.
Added the ability to playback audio from all devices on the scene in the Desktop Client.

To enable this feature, open Main Menu > Local Settings > General and select the checkbox next to "Play audio from all cameras on layout".

The Server could not store analytics data on some Ubuntu servers due to selecting partitions which it didn't have write access to. If the Server does not have write access to a particular partition, it can no longer be selected to store analytics data.
”Allow only secure connections” (HTTPS traffic only) is turned on by default.
The in-client web browser now saves user credentials between browser sessions.
Added TLS support for LDAP on Linux-based systems.
Removed the limitation on Video Wall licenses that prevented more than one active direct control session at a time.
Hotkeys changes:

[+] [−] keys are no longer used to zoom in or out on the Layout.
Shift + arrow keys are now used to select a camera on the Layout.

Made it easier to read the descriptions of Analytics Events in the Notification Panel.

Hanwha analytics plugin fixes:

Fixed a memory leak caused by malformed object tracking metadata from a Hanwha camera, which consumed all available RAM and froze the Server.
Analytics events for PND-A9081RV displayed a thumbnail of the entire camera view instead of best shot. Fixed.
Sometimes updated ROI settings did not apply when saved. Fixed.
Analytics Events from Hanwha PND-A9081RV were missing object attributes. Fixed.
Fixed an issue in the Hanwha analytics description field.
Deleting an ROI line in the camera web interface did not reflect correctly on the Desktop Client even after refreshing the plugin. Fixed.

Sometimes the PTZ functionality on some Hanwha cameras did not work correctly if the video was flipped and mirrored. Fixed.
The Web Page tab in Camera Settings for XRN-1610S did not display the correct web page. Fixed.
Hanwha XND-6010 did not have audio in archived footage when the audio codec was set to G.726. Fixed.
Hanwha cameras were inaccessible from the Desktop Client if a password containing “%” was used. Fixed.
Level ‘Middle’ for BLC, WDR mode for Hanwha cameras couldn't be applied via the Desktop Client. Fixed.
Fixed a discrepancy between the Desktop Client and the camera’s web interface when the image mode is set to HLC on Hanwha cameras. The HLC level has been renamed from ‘Medium’ to ‘Middle’ in the Desktop Client.

TESTED OPERATING SYSTEMS:

Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10/Enterprise, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 v1607, 2019
Ubuntu LTS: 16.04, 18.04, 20.04
MacOS 10.14: “Mojave”, 10.15 “Catalina”, 11.0

4.1.0.31398 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 20 Jul 2020

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.

BRANDING UPDATE:

Branding has been updated for Nx Witness, with new logos in the Desktop, Mobile, Web Admin, and Cloud interfaces. We hope you like the change.

BREAKING CHANGES

MacOS 10.11, 10.12, 10.13 support was dropped: Desktop Client will not work on those OS.
Nx1 end of life: no more builds for this platform provided.

Nx Server Tool end of life: no more builds will be provided.

NEW FEATURES

Push Notifications (requires Mobile Client v20.1 or later):

Rules can be created in VMS 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.77.0.3865) 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 (no need to go to the camera web page).
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 fullscreen mode:

When the Timeline is pinned it will remain fixed on the screen.
If the Timeline is pinned in fullscreen mode and the user leaves fullscreen it will be pinned for all cameras on the layout when the user returns to fullscreen 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 a 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.

API/SDK CHANGES/FIXES

SDK Plugin Fixes:

Axis camera plugin from camera SDK didn’t work on Windows. Fixed.
FTP storage plugin sample from storage SDK didn't work. Fixed.
Image library plugin fixed.

Fixed a memory leak that occured when using an API method to get MPEG-TS streams with transcoding.
Fixed a possible memory leak when using HTTP Streaming API methods.
Added licensing-related RestAPI methods to API documentation.
Video archive downloaded using /media/cameraid.mpegts method with transcoding could not be played back. Fixed.
When trying to request video streams through API (using any /media/ call), the maxWebMTranscoders parameter limited the sessions to 2 even if transcoding was not involved. Now the number of the non-transcoded streams that can be requested through API is unlimited and transcoded-ones are limited to maxWebMTranscoders (2 by default).
API tool in webadmin now works without authentication. The "Test method" button is hidden and fields for post requests are disabled for non-authorized users.
The ec2/analyticsLookupObjectTracks request could hang at certain environments. Fixed.
/api/gettime is now deprecated.
Added the “accurate_seek” url parameter for HTTP Streaming to avoid time difference.
SDKs: improvements to readme.md and Doxygen documentation.
SDKs: improvements to sample building scripts:
Implemented command-line help (`-h`|`--help`|`/?`).
Added the `--release` command-line arg to build Release configuration instead of Debug.

ANALYTICS PLUGIN SETTINGS IMPROVEMENTS/FIXES

Added the possibility to choose a specific video stream that will be used for analysis by a video analytics plugin. This option can be disabled in plugin manifest (hideStreamSelection).
Analytics plugin manifest now supports sections.
Simultaneous operation of multiple Device Agents running on the same camera is now supported.
Analytics settings were changed to their default value after a plugin upgrade. Fixed.
Objects boxes were not shown on the camera if it was not re-opened on a layout after enabling the metadata plugin for the first time. Fixed.
If Default Rotation was changed for a camera after analytics objects detection, the thumbnails of those objects were displayed incorrectly on the Right Panel. Fixed.
Incorrect analytic chunks appeared on the Timeline when Text Search and Area Selection filters were used together. Fixed.
Analytic objects were not shown in Desktop Client when it was connected to the multi-server system where some of the servers did not have the analytics plugin installed. Fixed.
Sometimes playback with analytic chunks stopped working. Fixed.
Improved analytics object search in the area.
Sample Analytics Plugin is included in Metadata SDK.

Such objects can be used to visualize some data calculated by the plugin, e.g., the amount of people appearing in a field of view of a camera.
Servers on Linux machines with Analytics Plugins (built via the SDK) enabled would crash while being shut down. Fixed.

NEW OPERATING SYSTEMS/PLATFORMS

Added support for Windows Server 2019.
Added support for Ubuntu 20.04.

TESTED OPERATING SYSTEMS

Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10/Enterprise, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 v1607, 2019
Ubuntu LTS: 16.04, 18.04, 20.04
MacOS 10.14: “Mojave”, 10.15 “Catalina”
Raspberry PI 3 Model B V1.2 Kernel version 4.14 (Linux 9.4 (Stretch)).

KNOWN ISSUES/LIMITATIONS

We support only camera web-pages that work in Chrome.
Health monitoring: all metrics and alerts, including aggregated alerts, are erased after the server has been restarted.
Linux Server fails to record analytics metadata to NTFS drives.
Push notifications: sometimes, there are no thumbnails when the associated camera is not recording.
In rare situations on MacOS, 2-way audio doesn't work after upgrading from 4.0 and previous versions. Reinstall the Desktop client to work around this issue.

IMPROVEMENTS

Cloud connectivity improved
Advanced server settings page on Server Webadmin now contains the list and the description of the advanced server configuration parameters and a basic System Health Report.
Database backup period is changed to once per 7 days (30 days total).

BUG FIXES

If trying to connect a system to Cloud using Server Webadmin it didn’t work if a domain suffix exceeded 6 characters (for instance, info@mail.academy). Fixed.
If Default Rotation was changed for a camera after some analytics objects were detected, the thumbnails of those objects were displayed incorrectly on the Right Panel. Fixed.
In rare cases multicast streams with H265 codec that had been added manually did not display correctly. Fixed.
Fixed Desktop Client UI glitches on Mac OS X.
Multicast streams with audio track that had been added manually did not playback correctly in some cases (no audio was played back). Fixed.
Desktop Client on Mac OS X could freeze after multiple transitions to fullscreen mode. Fixed.
If User Settings and System Administration dialogs were opened in Desktop Client on Mac OS X, User Settings was displayed behind System Administration. Fixed.
Sometimes previews of the motion events on the right panel displayed with incorrect aspect ratio in Desktop Client on Mac OS X. Fixed.
Under complex LDAP configuration conditions Nx Server could fetch less users than expected. Fixed.
If viewing archive from a camera and switch to another layout and back, the playback position switched to live. Fixed.
Virtual camera was played back incorrectly on Android client. Fixed.
Client could sometimes crash if "Connect to Server" dialog or webpage on Scene was closed. Fixed.
Fixed client glitches with Intel HD 620 and 630.
Overall server stability improved.
Some RTSP links didn’t work if added manually, but worked in VLC. Fixed.
"Native" onvif ptz presets didn’t work if the preset name in VMS contained some native symbols (like Japanese or Chinese strokes). Fixed.
In rare environments under certain circumstances, the motion detection database may have been corrupted after upgrading to 4.0 which prevented the smart search feature from working correctly. Fixed.
Stream profiles assignment fixed for Entropix camera.

API CHANGES/FIXES

When trying to request video streams through API (using any /media/ call), the maxWebMTranscoders parameter limited the sessions to 2 even if the transcoding was not involved. Now the number of the non-transcoded streams that can be requested through API is unlimited and transcoded-ones are limited to maxWebMTranscoders (2 by default).
/api/gettime is now deprecated.
/ec2/cameraThumbnail: Fix incorrect params description: change `roundMethod` to `method`.
/ec2/saveCameraUserAttributesList and /ec2/saveCameraUserAttributes: Mark licenseUsed as unused.

BUG FIXES:

General Fixes

With the “Keep camera stream and profile settings” options enabled, if the configured profile was removed from the Camera web page, Server stopped getting the corresponding stream. Now Server changes the video profile to a default one in this case.
Server could change time on some cameras even if the "Allow System to optimize Camera Settings" option was disabled. Fixed.

UI Fixes:

After merging Systems, Cloud connection metrics in Web Admin on Linux server were shown incorrectly. Fixed.
After the failover occurred, streams from the devices which were switched to another Server did not show up in the Desktop Client (the recording still worked fine). Fixed.
The Desktop Client stopped playing sound on the Layout item when a zoom window was created. Fixed.
Cloud layouts (Shared layouts) were not properly displayed after saving. Fixed.
Administrators could not modify group membership/permissions for some Cloud accounts. Fixed.
When using hotspots, streams from devices could flip upside down. Fixed.

API/SDK UPDATES:

The API request "GET /rest/vX/system/info", would mistakenly return the "virtual desktop camera" in the list of “resources:[]“. Now this camera is not returned.
If Server received a PTZ API call with values outside of the camera PTZ limits, it did not return error and no movement occurred. Added a new "GET /rest/v{3-}/devices/{deviceId}/ptz/limits" API endpoint. It accepts the same filter as "GET /rest/v{3-}/devices/{deviceId}/ptz/position" - position type (absolute/logical) and api type (operational/configurational).
Added the option to "MediaSettings" to skip aspect ratio setting from camera to avoid transcoding if requesting a stream from Server using the "/rest/v3/devices/{id}/media.{format}" API request.
Server responded to the HLS streaming API with the default headers "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" even if the "supportedOrigins" options were configured in the Advanced System settings in Web Admin. Fixed.

HANWHA ONLY:

On some Hanwha cameras (i.e. XND-6085V), ROI area configured in the Desktop Client could be saved. Fixed.
Some Hanwha cameras (i.e. XND-9083RV) could change the streaming settings even if the “Keep camera stream and profile settings” options were enabled. Fixed.
Some Hanwha cameras could go offline with the “Keep camera stream and profile settings” options disabled. Fixed.
On TID-600R Intercom, ROI was displayed by default. Fixed.
Hanwha PNB-A9001 camera object detection settings were disabled after the camera was added to the System. Fixed.

5.1.0.36751 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 17 Apr 2023

Release Notes:

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
Server IP in shows in API responses

High Security Level:

“Encrypt video traffic to desktop and mobile client” is enabled

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 Raspberry Pi 4.
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. [NOT IN BETA]
Two-factor authentication may be enabled on the Cloud to make OAuth2 authentication even more secure.[NOT IN BETA]
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 "FPS" and "Quality" fields on the Recording tab will be disabled if "Keep camera streams and profile settings" is enabled or "Allow system to optimize camera settings" is disabled.
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.
Video playback on the Web Client was improved.
Redesigned Fisheye controls - added hotkeys to turn and zoom in/out.
New Archive Backup Options:

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.
“Preview is outdated” text is displayed over the video preview thumbnail if it has not been updated in over 15 minutes.

On cameras with recording enabled, the last-minute of the recording is now available for playback in the Desktop Client.
Added Quick Start Guide to desktop and start menu.
Improved storage management and reduced the chances of storage conflicts when using the same storage path for multiple Servers.
The “Description” column was added to the Bookmark Log.
"Copy Bookmark Text" is now available in the context menu. Use this feature to copy the selected Bookmark's contents from the Bookmark Log in text format.
Added the following hotkeys to interact with the Resource Tree:

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.

The default search filter in the Bookmark Log was changed from one year to one week.
Exporting motion-only video now ignores all gaps between motion events and stitches the separate motion events together to form seamless playback.
Changing your password in the Desktop Client now automatically updates the saved password on the Welcome Screen.
Redesigned the in-client user manual:

Modern look and feel
Improved search tool
Collapsible/expandable topics

In the context menu for Web Pages, "Edit" was renamed to "Web Page Settings".
The visibility of passwords can be toggled (left-click and hold) in the following dialogs: Add Devices, Camera Credentials, LDAP Settings, Login Dialog (Welcome Screen), SMTP simple/advanced Settings, Create User, Add network storage, Connect to Server.
The default search filter in Bookmark Log is now one week instead of one year.

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 Raspberry Pi 4.
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. [NOT IN BETA]
Two-factor authentication may be enabled on the Cloud to make OAuth2 authentication even more secure.[NOT IN BETA]
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 "FPS" and "Quality" fields on the Recording tab will be disabled if "Keep camera streams and profile settings" is enabled or "Allow system to optimize camera settings" is disabled.
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.
Video playback on the Web Client was improved.
Redesigned Fisheye controls - added hotkeys to turn and zoom in/out.
New Archive Backup Options:

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

On cameras with recording enabled, the last-minute of the recording is now available for playback in the Desktop Client.
Added Quick Start Guide to desktop and start menu.
Improved storage management and reduced the chances of storage conflicts when using the same storage path for multiple Servers.
The “Description” column was added to the Bookmark Log.
"Copy Bookmark Text" is now available in the context menu. Use this feature to copy the selected Bookmark's contents from the Bookmark Log in text format.
Added the following hotkeys to interact with the Resource Tree:

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.

The default search filter in the Bookmark Log was changed from one year to one week.

Changing your password in the Desktop Client now automatically updates the saved password on the Welcome Screen.
Redesigned the in-client user manual:

Modern look and feel
Improved search tool
Collapsible/expandable topics

In the context menu for Web Pages, "Edit" was renamed to "Web Page Settings".
The visibility of passwords can be toggled (left-click and hold) in the following dialogs: Add Devices, Camera Credentials, LDAP Settings, Login Dialog (Welcome Screen), SMTP simple/advanced Settings, Create User, Add network storage, Connect to Server.
The default search filter in Bookmark Log is now one week instead of one year.

5.0.0.34342 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 17 Feb 2022

Release Notes:

IMPORTANT:

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.

BREAKING CHANGES AND KNOWN ISSUES:

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

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.
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 Raspberry Pi 4.
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

4.2.0.32514 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 18 Feb 2021

Release Notes:

OPERATING SYSTEMS/PLATFORMS

Windows 7 compatibility support ended.
Windows 2008 R2 compatibility support ended.
Added support for MacOS 11 in the desktop client.

NEW FEATURES:

Redesigned PTZ controls - PTZ control have been redesigned for improved UX.

Advanced PTZ activates only when the Shift key is pressed.

Intel® Quick Sync Video - Intel® Quick Sync Video uses the dedicated media processing capabilities of Intel® Graphics Technology to decode and encode fast, enabling the processor to complete other tasks and improving system responsiveness. Vastly improves the ability of low power hardware (e.g. Intel Atom, Celeron) and the ability of the Desktop Client to decode very high resolution (e.g. 16 MP, 32MP) cameras and streams.

Go to Local Settings in the Desktop Client and check the “Use Hardware Video Decoding” checkbox to enable Intel Quick Sync Video.
“Use Hardware Video Decoding” is unchecked by default.

4.1.0.31195 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 23 Jun 2020

Release Notes:

BREAKING CHANGES

MacOS 10.11, 10.12, 10.13 support was dropped: Desktop Client will not work on those OS.
Nx1 end of life: no more builds for this platform provided.
Arecont Vision cameras now officially supported only via ONVIF. Models which were previously integrated via AV API could continue to maintain such compatibility, but it is not guaranteed. Users should test AV cameras compatibility with this release in a test environment before installing or updating this release on their operational system

NEW FEATURES

Push Notifications (requires mobile client v20.1 or later):

Rules can be created in VMS 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 in to 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 (no need to go to the camera web page).
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 fullscreen mode:

When the Timeline is pinned it will remain fixed on the screen.
If the Timeline is pinned in fullscreen mode and the user leaves fullscreen it will be pinned for all cameras on the layout when the user returns to fullscreen mode.

Database backups are now divided by the following groups:

Created after system merge
Created after updates
Initiated via API
Scheduled.

"Camera selection" dialog was optimized for a 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.

4.0.0.29640 Video Management System
PUBLISHED 27 Aug 2019

Release Notes:

IMPORTANT:

In-client update from previous beta doesn’t work.
To enable some new features it is necessary to remove desktop_client.ini file on all computers running Client:

on Windows: c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\nx_ini\desktop_client.ini
on Linux: /home/<user>/nx_ini/desktop_client.ini

Before installing the new version, please remove the old analytics data and old analytics plugins (including stub_analytics_plugin) if you used it. They are not compatible with the current release. The location of the analytics data can be found in Server Settings -> Storage Management. You need to remove the objects_detection.sqlite DB and archive/metadata folder from there.

The analytics plugins normally reside here on Windows: %mediaserver_dir%/plugins/ and %mediaserver_dir%/plugins_optional/. On Linux they can be found in $mediaserver_dir/bin/plugins/ and $mediaserver_dir/bin/plugins_optional/.
