Video Portal - Updates
Real-time feeds from cameras can now be viewed not only in Google Chrome but also in the Mozilla Firefox browser.
The areas with the most activity and their corresponding times can now be visualized. The color scheme can be customized, contrast can be adjusted, and time resolution can be selected to better understand where people spend the most time or which areas experience the highest traffic.
The Compare feature helps identify peak traffic times.
The high-quality option utilizes a sophisticated algorithm to display activity patterns more accurately, though it requires more processing power and may take longer to show results.
Contrast can also be added for easier viewing of the results.
If none of the preset layout designs meet the requirements, a custom layout can be created with any number of camera cells.
Select the MxN option from the layouts list and specify the desired number of rows and columns to design a personalized layout template.
Managing a long-term project spanning months or years and seeking a compelling timelapse of the progress, the timelapse feature allows a security camera to capture footage throughout, eliminating the need to wait until project completion to view the progress.
Review days, weeks, months, or even years of footage in just minutes.
Download the full history of the project at any time.
To access the Timelapse, log into the video portal and select the Library menu.
Inside the library, all saved clips and Timelapses are available. To specifically view Timelapses, select the "Timelapses" option from the menu.
Within the library, it's possible to search for a specific Timelapse by its assigned name. Additionally, the library can be sorted by camera device, arranged from newest to oldest or vice versa, and organized alphabetically or reverse-alphabetically by Timelapse names.
Clicking the three dots in the upper-right corner of a Timelapse thumbnail opens additional options, including renaming, downloading the Timelapse in .mp4 format, or deleting it.
To play a Timelapse, simply click on the desired one within the library menu. During playback, the Timelapse can be paused, its speed adjusted for faster or slower viewing and stretched to fit the screen. A snapshot of the current frame can be saved locally in .jpeg format, and there’s also the option to download the Timelapse in .mp4 format for local storage.
A link can be sent to friends or authorities, allowing them to view the camera feed live from anywhere in the world.
To do this, click on the dots to open the camera menu and select Share.
Provide the necessary details and choose the access method and duration for others. Finally, click Share to send the link.
With server-side object detection enabled, events can be searched and narrowed to specific areas. A small or large area can be selected to view a list of all detected objects within it.
Filtering by object type, color, date, and adjusting the machine learning confidence level allows for quick sorting through recognized objects to easily locate the correct event.
By selecting an event from the list, it can be reviewed, or it can be dragged into a layout cell to begin playback in that cell.
Note: Only moving objects are categorized, while stationary objects, such as parked vehicles, are not stored in the events list.
For cameras with enabled server-side object detection, events can be searched by object color. To search for objects by color, open the menu for events. To apply a color filter to the search results, first select the desired object type. Multiple object types can be chosen simultaneously; in this case, all objects of the selected color(s) will be included in the list, even if there are multiple objects in the scene, as long as one object matches the selected color.
Once the object type is chosen, the color selection panel will appear, allowing the selection of one or more colors to filter events by the chosen color(s). If multiple colors are selected, objects that contain at least one of the selected colors will be included in the list.
With many layouts making it difficult to find the desired one, categories and subcategories can now be created in the Navigation menu for better organization.
Click the "+" button to create a new category. Begin typing the category name to search for it. Layouts can be easily dragged and dropped between categories to organize them. Additionally, single cameras can be added to these categories.
The volume level can now be controlled using the mouse wheel. Hover the mouse pointer over the volume level bar and use the wheel to increase or decrease the volume of the selected camera.
If the mouse has a 3rd button, it can now be used, typically by clicking the mouse wheel, to close the camera currently under the cursor. This feature allows for quickly closing unwanted cameras from the field of view.
A new feature has been introduced to simplify the process for customers. It allows for customizing the title displayed at the top of the page with a shared clip. This enables clips to be named according to the event's context, making it easier to retrieve them by their related names.
Significant revisions were made to the mechanics of event loading and timeline lookup. The web-based video portal now loads events faster, consuming less data, and improving overall usability and experience for end customers.
The object recognition mechanics were updated to enhance recognition reliability, enabling object detection even when the object is partially or fully obscured by other objects.
Additional navigational arrows were added to simplify the investigation process. It is now possible to jump to the "Next" or "Previous" object, the next or previous camera event, or move back or forward by a selected time period.
It is now easy to identify the type of object detected at a specific time by the color of the dot above the timeline. Camera detector events are displayed as darker sections of the timeline, allowing for quicker identification of periods when motion, line crossing, or other camera events occurred. Additionally, certain object types can now be hidden from view above the timeline by using the pictograms in the bottom toolbar to show or hide the desired object types.
Hard hat detection can now be added to cameras to enhance worksite safety by alerting managers about workers without hard hats in areas where they are required.
The Portal User can select between Relative and Continuous PTZ modes. In Relative mode, the camera moves by a predefined angle with each click, and changing the speed alters the distance the camera moves with each click. Zoom has a separate speed control and adjusts by a predefined amount based on the selected speed. In Continuous mode, the camera continues to move in the direction of the joystick, with the speed increasing as the joystick nears the edge of the control area. Zoom operates the same way as in Relative mode.
