Improved and Redesigned User Management

Revamped and reimagined user management in your Piko system. With the introduction of Gen 6, administrators now have the power to craft permissions for both groups and individual users. This release also introduces the capability for users to belong to multiple groups, providing unparalleled control over user management.

What’s Changed:

User Role Names Updated

  • Owners → Administrators
  • Administrators → Power Users

Enhanced User Rights System

We've strengthened the user rights system, providing more flexibility and control over user permissions.

Custom Permissions for Users and Groups

You can now assign unique permissions to individual users or groups for selected cameras, offering precise access control.

Flexible Group Membership

Users can belong to multiple permission groups, with nested groups able to inherit permissions from other groups.

Temporary Users

Now, alongside your regular users, you can create temporary users for time-limited access. Admins have full control, setting expiration times and link usage restrictions. Please note, this feature must be set up in the local users tab.

How to set up:

  1. Navigate to User Management and click Add User
  2. Select Type as Local
  3. Choose access method - Temporary with Link
  4. Fill in all necessary fields
  5. Select Permission Groups
  6. Click Add User

Administrators and Power Users can modify these temporary users at any time through the user management menu

Emails via Piko Cloud

A newly added option in the email settings lets users choose to route emails through the Piko Cloud, offering an additional choice alongside the existing option to route via SMTP. If this option isselected, when the media server needs to send an email, it will send API requests to the notifications service instead of using SMTP settings.

Camera Hotspots

Expand Your Vision

Layer interactive icons over live video feeds to instantly access new views. With Hotspots, users can quickly switch to another location without opening new windows or searching for specific cameras.

Simply add a hotspot icon in the settings and link it to your desired camera for fast, intuitive navigation.

How to Set Up

  1. Open Camera Settings and go to the Hotspot tab.
  2. Switch Hotspots to the On (Green) position, then click Add.
  3. Once the hotspot is visible, click and drag it into position.
  4. Add a Direction to the icon if necessary.
  5. Select the Target and choose the camera you'd like the hotspot to view.
  6. Click Apply to save your changes.

Once configured, the hotspot icon appears in the camera tools overlay (to the right of the zoom window tool). Hover to preview a live thumbnail, or click to open it in the layout.

NVIDIA Hardware Video Decoding Acceleration

Leverage the advanced capabilities of NVIDIA GPUs to provide video decoding, ensuring your security system operates at peak efficiency.

Bookmarks in Piko Cloud

Bookmarks offer a reliable, straightforward, and user-friendly method to capture key data and insights from your video system. With Generation 6 Pro, you can now access these bookmarks directly through Piko Cloud. Coming Soon.

Object Search in Piko Mobile

Piko Mobile now enables advanced object searches directly within the app. Along with this new feature, users can still enjoy the powerful capabilities of live viewing, playback, calendar search, smart motion search, and bookmarks.
