Release Notes

IMPORTANT

• 4.0 BETA USERS. Before installing the release version, please remove the old analytics data and plugins. See “https://cloud.pikovms.com/download/” for details
• This version does not contain ARM installation packages. If you have a system with any ARM server (Piko1, Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi or compatible), the upgrade will not work. ARM installation packages will be released soon.
• Beginning January 1, 2020, users that are using 3.2.0.208xx build or any older versions will encounter issues when installing or running the VMS in Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016. It is recommended to upgrade or apply a workaround. See “https://cloud.pikovms.com/download/”.

NEW FEATURES

• 265 for ONVIF Devices – The H.265 codec is now supported for cameras detected and managed via ONVIF.

• USB Webcams will only be discovered if they are recognized by the operating system they are installed upon. Windows often automatically installs the driver for USB webcams. Ubuntu Linux typically requires driver / 3rd party software installation in order for a USB webcam to be recognized.
• Audio is disabled for the Raspberry Pi camera.

HANWHA DEVICES SUPPORT/IMPROVEMENTS/FIXES

• Hanwha cameras lens control now supported.
• Multicast stream support via generic RTSP – User must enable multicast (RTSP) in the video profile for Hanwha IP cameras before streams can be added to a Server using generic RTSP (example RTSP stream address: rtsp://192.168.0.78/multicast/profile5/media.smp).
• New Device Support:
• Hanwha NVR (Including PTZ): QRN-1610S, QRN-810S, QRN-410S.
• New Hanwha In-Camera Analytics Events:
• Queue Management (queue-meter)
• Shock Detection
• Temperature change detection.
• New PTZ Support:
• PTZ Override now supported for Box Camera / Zoom Box Camera with RS-422/485
• Hanwha XRN-2010 Advanced PTZ Support added
• Improved PTZ movement (increased smoothness) for many Hanwha cameras
• PTZ capabilities added for all SPE encoders. PTZ capabilities can now be modified on the “Expert” tab in the Camera Settings dialog
• Hanwha SNF-8010 camera misreported “PTZ” icon fixed.
• Other Device Fixes:
• Analog Encoder License support added for Hanwha SPE-* encoders
• Hanwha SNP-5300 initialization fixed
• Audio setup in NVR camera channels was missing in advanced camera settings. Fixed
• If PNM-9000VQ channels each had a different resolution they showed incorrectly in the “Advanced” tab. Fixed
• X Series Cameras were discovered twice. Fixed
• Camera output via NVR support added
• Added ”Smart Zoom” support for Hanwha 4-headed ‘fixed’ lens camera with built-in 2M 32x PTZ camera (PNM-9320VQP). Once “Smart Zoom” button is clicked, users can draw a box on any fixed sensor video to launch the PTZ camera and target the user input zoom area.
• Incorrect timeline for SRD-1685. Fixed.
• Sometimes SPE-410 was discovered twice. Fixed.
• XRN-1610 worked incorrectly if NVR password contained ‘:’ . Fixed.
• Hanwha servers RAID diagnostic notification – If one on the disk in the RAID goes offline, notification is generated.
• Added ability to view a multicast stream from Onvif and Hanwha cameras.
• Not all chunks were shown on timeline from Hanwha NVR in case of “Cont+Evnt” recording type. Fixed.
• Unable to view archive from NVR channel with offline camera. Fixed.
• Resolution could be changed via Advanced settings even if the “Keep camera streams and profiles settings” option was set. Fixed.
• While controlling PTZ move on XRN-2010 the camera was still moving after the mouse button was released. Fixed.
• NVR channel audio checkbox “Enable Audio” was disabled until NVR was re-registered. Fixed.
• Incorrect audio bitrate in the “Advanced” tab for PNF-9010. Fixed.
• Live and archive video didn’t work in Web Client for systems with NVRs. Fixed.
