DW Spectrum Release
Note for 5.1.0.37133
IMPORTANT
Windows 7 and Ubuntu
16.04 or older versions are not supported.
BREAKING
CHANGES AND KNOWN ISSUES
l Support for
DW-BJMIN discontinued.
l Support for Windows 8.1 will
be discontinued in the next release. Systems on Windows 8.1 may not be able to
update to the next release.
l Mobile 22.4 is not compatible
with VMS 5.1.
l Support for Ubuntu 16.04 was
discontinued.
l Support for macOS 10.14 and
10.15 were discontinued.
OPERATING
SYSTEMS/PLATFORMS:
l Added Ubuntu 22.04 support.
l Added MacOS 13 support.
NEW
FEATURES:
l Cross-system layouts:
o
Added the ability to view cameras/devices from different Cloud
systems on a single layout.
o
Such layouts can only be displayed in the Desktop Client.
o
Cloud users can set up and save such layouts but cannot share
them to other users.
o
Cross System layouts cannot be used with VideoWall, Showreels or
automated with Rules.
l Camera replacement:
o
It is now possible to replace a camera with another camera from
the same server.
o
Name, archive, general and advanced settings, recording
settings, PTZ settings, event rules, analytics and camera access rights will be
transferred to a new camera.
o
Motion Detection settings, 2-way Audio will not be transferred.
o
The current archive from the old camera will still be accessible.
o
This action can be undone only when the old camera goes back to
online state and Server discovers it.
o
Camera replacement can be done only by Owner and Administrators.
o
Camera replacement is not supported for:
-
Virtual cameras
-
Speakers
-
NVRs
-
IO modules
-
Multi-sensor cameras
-
Unauthorized cameras
-
Offline cameras that appear after reindexing the archive.
l Added a possibility to
download the Desktop Client and Server logs remotely (System Administration ->
Logs Settings). Users can configure logging and download logs.
l Added a possibility to choose
the specific ONVIF profile for cameras (the "Expert" tab). The ONVIF
profile list is determined ONLY when adding the camera to the server. If
reconfigure ONVIF profiles afterwards (on the camera itself), they will not be
reflected in the Desktop Client.
IMPROVEMENTS:
l Min/Max archive retention
period is in minutes, hours and days now.
l Motion DB was moved from the
system storage to the archive storage.
l Server connections
to/disconnections from the Cloud are now logged in the Audit Trail.
l Added a power management
setting that allows computers to sleep while the Desktop Client is still open.
l Showreels no longer display a
title bar on top with the camera name.
l Scheduled database backup has
been disabled by default on ARM devices.
l Added support for MPEG4 RTSP
video streams.
l Bookmarks and object
attributes could be found only if a text matched the one from the beginning of
the word. Now search can be performed by a text in the middle of the string (3
symbols minimum).
l Specific ports for viewing a
Camera web page can be redefined on the "Expert" tab in Camera
settings.
l The "Do HTTP
request" action now supports PATCH requests again (this was possible in
4.2, but due to API upgrade was not implemented in 5.0).
l The "Use source
camera" option is added to all camera-related actions.
l The sound duration for the
"Play Sound" and "Repeat Sound" actions was increased from
10 to 30 seconds.
l The maximum value for
LogicalID is set to 999999.
l Added a new system
notification that local storage is being used for analytic and motion data.
l Mobile user manual was added
to the desktop client installation package.
l The "Show text
overlay" action can show more text.
l Now users with the Administrator
role can initiate the "Create Backup" and "Restore Backup"
operations. The "ownerApiForAdmins" Server configuration option is
introduced and available in Webadmin (advanced options, default value is
false). ATTENTION! This is potentially dangerous and may compromise the system
owner!
l Backup & Restore was moved
to the "Advanced" tab of the "System Administration" dialog.
l If requesting RTSP streams
from Server, it is possible to specify Audio Codec parameters.
l Added the averaged bitrate
property for the cameras statistics health report.
This information is useful for preparing for the Cloud Storage(SaaS) business model.
l Introduced the
"isFilePathPrefixedWithServerId" Server configuration option (default
value of 1). It adds a Server GUID to the archive path when recording new
footage. Originally implemented in the 5.0 release. This setting can be changed
without losing the archive. VMS Server checks both folders for reading. Users
can revert the storage structure back to the old format if desired.
l Overall server performance was
improved:
o The number of requests being
sent by Desktop Client to Server was significantly reduced which should improve
performance for big systems.
l "Do HTTP request"
was renamed to "Do HTTP(S) request".
l Added a general support of all
USB joysticks to control PTZ and layouts (Windows Only). Once a joystick is connected
to the Desktop Client machine, the corresponding menu item will show up in the
Main Menu.
l Added security presets to the
"New System" setup wizard:
o
Standard Security Level:
-
"Encrypt video traffic to desktop and mobile client"
is disabled
-
Camera credentials are shown in Camera settings
-
Server IP in shows in API responses
o
High Security Level:
-
"Encrypt video traffic to desktop and mobile client"
is enabled
-
Camera credentials are not shown in Camera settings
-
Server IP is not shown in API responses.
l The max size of the title on
the welcome screen was increased up to 60 pixels.
ANALYTICS
IMPROVEMENTS/FIXES:
l Significantly improved
performance of:
o
receiving and processing analytics metadata from analytics
plugins.
o
disk usage while displaying video chunks with analytics objects
and motion on the timeline.
o
analytics objects search.
l Only attributes supported by
devices are shown in the "Advanced search" dialog now.

Additional Recommendations
When upgrading major release versions, like from v4.x to v5.0, it his
highly recommended to clean up the database by backing up and restoring the
database files after upgrading.
To do so after upgrading to DW Spectrum IPVMS v5.0:
1)
After upgrading to v5.0, backup DW Spectrum System database.
2)
Delete all database files.
3)
Restore the database using the backup that was created previously in Step
1.
In-Client Upgrade Information
**NOTE: �If your DW Spectrum System is upgrading from a previous Windows x64
Client/Server Bundle, be sure to continue using the bundled version. Updating
by installing the Client or Server software separately can cause your computer
to host multiple versions of the DW Spectrum software and may create issues.

Release Note for 4.1.0.31401
CRITICAL COMPATIBILITY NOTICE:
All users must update to the v20.1 or higher Mobile release in
order to be able to connect to a v4.1 System via the Mobile Client. Mobile
Clients v19.6 or earlier will not be able to access Systems running v4.1 or
later.
BREAKING CHANGES
Mac OS X 10.11, 10.12,
10.13 support is dropped: Desktop Client will not work on these OS versions.
NEW FEATURES:
o
Push Notifications (requires Mobile Client v20.1 or later):
� Rules can be created in DW
Spectrum to send Push Notifications to mobile devices.
� Users can receive push
notifications from multiple systems and turn on/off notifications for specific
systems.
� In order to receive Push
Notifications, users must be logged into the Cloud in Mobile Client.
� Users can create custom text
for notifications in the Rules Engine via Desktop Client.
o
Health Monitoring - Available in the Server Web Admin interface
and Cloud Portal, Health Monitoring provides administrators detailed
information about a System�s health, including, but not limited to:
� Alerts - automatically
detected / identified problems with a System
� System Info (# of servers,
channels, storage located, users, and version)
� Servers (storage detailed
state, CPU usage, NICs state, hardware spec, etc.)
� Cameras (online/offline state,
resolution, fps, quality, firmware version, etc.)
� Storage Locations (path,
server, type, status, read/write rate, size, usage %)
� Network Interfaces (name,
server, state, IP address, I/O rates)
� Desktop Clients connected to
Servers.
o
New Embedded Browser - Desktop Client now uses a full-featured
embedded Chromium browser (v.77.0.3865) to display web pages on layouts:
� Download Files on Web-Page -
the embedded browser in Desktop Client now supports downloading and saving
files.
� Cameras Web Page in Camera
Settings Dialog - camera web pages can now be opened up in the Camera Settings
dialog allowing users to configure/access camera web pages inside Desktop
Client even when on a different Subnet (i.e., remote connections / outside the
LAN / WAN). Server acts like an HTTP(s) proxy from cameras to Desktop Clients.
o
Video Wall Failover - If a Server with Video Wall licenses
fails, the video wall continues working for 7 days. After that, it will be
blocked with the error message "Not enough licenses".
IMPROVEMENTS
o Best Server Selection (while connecting to a Cloud-connected
Multi-Server System):
�
In prior releases, Desktop
Client would connect to a random available server via Cloud. Now Cloud
connections are routed through the Server with the best uplink.
�
Added the ability for users to
specify the preferred Server for connections. The configured Desktop Client
will attempt to connect to the preferred Server first, and if it is not
reachable, it will detect and connect via the Server with the best uplink.
o 2-way Audio API - Allows third-party web clients to send audio
(from client microphone) to and get audio from cameras.
o Added Time Zone option for Virtual Cameras - Time Zone can now
be specified for virtual cameras. If "Time Zone" is set to
"Auto", then the time zone is defined by metadata or UTC if there's
no time zone specified in the file. If set to "Client", the Time Zone
is defined by the desktop client.
o Server Side Motion Detection improved - False positives
detection introduced to increase accuracy of detected motion events (e.g.,
turning on/off lights or switching camera day/night mode are now likely to be
ignored)
o Additional action parameter placeholders for the "Do HTTP
request" action - Placeholders can be added to the HTTP POST request body
to be automatically replaced by the corresponding values from Analytics Event
parameters. This feature is only applicable to Analytics and Generic Events.
Placeholders syntax:
�
{event.cameraId} � replaced by
the camera ID (e.g., {{{ad1d1b6c-7013-0049-6fd4-ff15450e4716}}})
�
{event.cameraName} � replaced
by the camera name (e.g., DWC-MB45WiAT)
�
{event.eventType} � replaced
by the event type (e.g., stub.objectInTheArea or stub.lineCrossing)
�
{event.eventName} � replaced
by the event name (e.g., Object in the area or Line crossing)
�
{event.caption} � replaced by
the caption (e.g., �Line crossing - impulse event (caption)�)
�
{event.description} � replaced
by the description (e.g., "Line crossing - impulse event
(description)").
o Improved MacOS performance and introduced an experimental
setting to limit frame rate and reduce CPU load (see Local Settings ->
Advanced).
o Improved cloud connectivity on certain network environments.
o Added the ability to pin the Timeline in fullscreen mode:
�
When the Timeline is pinned it
will remain fixed on the screen.
�
If the Timeline is pinned in
fullscreen mode and the user leaves fullscreen it will be pinned for all
cameras on the layout when the user returns to fullscreen mode.
o Database backups are now categorized into the following types:
�
Created after system merge
�
Created after updates
�
Initiated via API
�
Scheduled.
o "Camera selection" dialog was optimized for a large
systems.
o Added text search in the "Event log" dialog.
o "Global Notification Settings" button was removed from
the "Show Notification" action.
o Added .mpegts files to the list of supported files in Desktop
Client.
o It is now possible to disable port 80 on firewalls completely
and use port 443 for HTTPS connection.
o Added the ability to search by object types in the Notification
Panel. <param>: <value> returns object where <param> has
<value>. For instance, if there are analytic plugins that recognize
t-shirt color, gender, and glasses, it is possible to search for analytic
events by �T-Shirt: White�, �Gender: Male�, �Glasses: True�.
o The default playback state of a camera opened from the
Notification Panel has changed. Now a camera remains on Pause once opened.
o Users are now imported from LDAP with their Email addresses.
o It is now possible to open multiple instances of the Desktop
Client by double clicking on the desktop shortcut.
o Added information about remaining license deactivations on
"License details" and "Confirmation" dialog.
NEW DEVICE SUPPORT
o
New Devices Supported with Analog Encoder License:
� Digital Watchdog DW-EN4K16
o
New PTZ camera support
