Specifications

only a specific wired or wireless connection for example. Note that if your local IP

addresses change, you may need to revisit the Options/Web server page to update the

LAN IP list.

• You may specify an external executable or script to run in response to PTZ commands

(See 7.9).

3.03 - March 14, 2012

• PTZ commands are now sent to a camera via an auxiliary thread meaning the UI will no

longer pause as PTZ commands are queued for a camera.

• The main window now behaves more properly when asked to minimize/maximize. The

task bar is no longer obscured, clicking the icon will minimize, and maximize will work

more appropriately on a multiple-monitor system.

• The window-close X button will now prompt before closing the application, and this

button no longer minimizes to the system tray--use the minimize button for that.

• Now by default, PTZ auto preset cycle and scheduled events are disabled for 30 seconds

following manual PTZ movement. After this time, if you have enabled schedule search-

back, the most recently scheduled PTZ preset position will be activated. In this way, you

may restore a desired PTZ preset position following manual PTZ movement. To disable

this feature, set the resume time to 0 seconds on the PTZ

(See 7.9) tab.

• A new option on the The addition of RTP/RTCP streaming using UDP ports instead of

TCP. Some newly-supported cameras are only capable of streaming this way, and

others may offer a higher-quality experience with this method. The default will remain

for RTSP to use a TCP port for streaming, but you will find this option on the network IP

camera configuration page. It should now be possible to pull streams from VLC, which is

only able to do RTP streaming using UDP ports. When choosing UDP ports, they are

chosen in blocks of 4, and must be unique to the system (no other camera or service

may use these same ports, and a method to automatically choose these may be added).

• The MPEG2-TS stream has been tested and is working with VLC. You can pull this from

/h264/cam1/stream.ts?stream=0 (cam1 is the short name, and stream may be 0, 1, or 2.

• A more complete implementation of RTP/RTCP provides much higher security against

packet loss leading to corrupt data being fed into the decoders possibly leading to a

software crash. For the Logitech Alert, which seems to be extremely prone to packet

loss, the high-resolution path may now once again be used without risk of higher failure

rates. RTSP/RTP streaming cameras should also appreciate accurate RTCP replies which

should lead to fewer stream interruptions.

3.02 - March 2, 2012

• Support for many new cameras including popular Zmodo, Q-See and Swann DVRs. Enter

a channel number into the Parameters box on the network camera configure page.
