A new Schedule options page (See 11.) allows you to set a global schedule rather than
each camera individually.
On the Schedule options page, control the function of the Traffic Signal icon.
Use new buttons at the top of the UI to override global and camera schedules to select a
particular profile. Use the lock/unlock button to return to normal.
The web server is now much more secure. A new login page is used to request the
credentials and these are not transmitted in plain text; a session cookie is maintained
with a time-out of 30 seconds without activity. A logout link has been placed at the top
of the default web pages. The ActiveX and Java applets have been updated accordingly.
You may select a motion sensor hot spot in addition to the mask. When a blob
rectangle intersects this area the camera is immediately triggered.
You may configure a list of PTZ preset and other camera events from the PTZ Event
Schedule (See 7.9) page.
Many new web server user account controls including schedule, time and bandwidth
limits.
A camera's alerts may be used by all cameras in a group or by all cameras on the
system. This provides the ability for global alerts--it is no longer necessary to create
alerts for each camera individually.
A camera may belong to multiple groups.
Cameras are now displayed with a title bar using the camera's color setting. There are
two indicator "LEDs" for each camera; yellow represents trouble, such as a mismatch in
framerate; red represents the camera is sensing motion or is triggered.
PTZ presets are now selected by number on the UI rather than the previous combo box.
A new Software Option allows you to set an automatic maximum duration for a manual
recording.
You may now define the effect of the traffic signal icon's "red" state.
The Run alert (See 7.5) now has the ability to run again when the trigger is reset.
A video-for-windows MJPG codec is no longer installed by default, but the software will
continue to detect one and offer it for use on the Record Format page.
The registration/activation key mechanism has changed. This new process should result
in far fewer false deactivations.
The registration pages have changed to remove the user-info page and to allow the
entry of the key with a single paste operation. The Options page now has optional fields
for name and email.
The ActiveX control has been updated to 1.3.0.0 and you should run its installer on any
remote systems.
Work continues on the iOS client app, followed shortly thereafter by an Android
version. Many of the updates found in 3.0 have been the result of this work, for
example the Alerts list.
You may also review the version 2.x update list (See 15.3).
