• The H.264 codec is not found on the majority of Windows systems. So, if you attempt to
create an AVI file with the H.264 codec, it may open on your system only if you install
the FFdshow codec. To obtain this, it is recommended that you Google for and install
the K-Lite codec pack. If you use only BVR files locally or WMV files, this step is not
necessary.
• In a future release, new file formats may be introduced as well such as MP4 (which
could potentially replace WMV) and M2TS (which could potentially replace BVR).
• Dates shown in the Clip List, Viewer, and remote access now reflect "file creation time"
rather than "last modified time".

• Efficiency of the console's video display (when running as a service) has been greatly
increased. Display bugs as well as a potential "hang" while shutting down have also
been fixed in the console.
• The 4-up camera display option was briefly removed but has been restored. A new 2-up
option has also been added.
• Local camera window layout options have changed. You may now select the previous
"fit to window" option, where all cameras are sized equally, or you may choose one of
the new ratio options (from 1:2 to 1:8) to specify the relative size of the first window to
the others. A slider has been placed on the main UI to quickly change this setting.
• Local camera window position layout is now managed graphically via drag-and-
drop. When you have multiple camera windows, click on a camera and drag it onto
another camera's window to move it to the new position. By default the move is a
remove/insert. If you would like to "swap" the two camera positions, hold the Control
key while dropping.
2.49
• ActiveX webcasting now supports camera audio; next release BVR audio playback as
well
• ActiveX webcasting has been greatly enhanced in terms of throughput and quality by
implementing a new buffering mechanism and H.264 video compression. You may
choose the encoder settings from the Options/Web server
(See 8.) page. The Quality
and Scale settings on each camera's Webcasting tab (See 7.6) now only apply to JPEG
(and motion JPEG) webcasting.
• The legacy MP42 codec has been removed from the webcasting code and will be
removed soon from the clip recording code where it will also be replaced with H.264.
• The Motion sensor (See 7.3) page now has Copy and Paste buttons so that you can
quickly transfer one profile's settings to another profile. Also the word "triggered" now
appears on to the right of the meter to emphasize the fast that the sensor is triggered
