Features in 1.37

[iconnor]

I should have made this at the start.. but here we go. I may miss a few, but they'll get added later.

What is in 1.37 that isn't in 1.36?

- Janus support for live viewing using h264
- Better zoom-in support -> this will likely get into 1.36 soon though
- Remove Function concept, replacing with Capturing, Analysing, Record options. Allows for Motion detection without recording. Allows for OnDemand capturing.
- Additional options for Decoding: Keyframes Only, On Demand, Ondemand+Keyframes
- Model, Manufacturer labelling in Monitors
- ffmpeg v4l support
- Support for executing a command on start/stop of event, removing the need for zmeventserver
- ONVIF/Amcrest event notification support: motion detection on the camera
- Adds Alarm Server for NETSurveillance WEB IP cameras
- Cycle view merged into Watch view with improved UI
- FPS Control in watch view
- Option to do motion detection on the Y-channel, reducing cpu use
- A button on event view to jump to montage review at that time.
- filtering UI in top of events list allowing change of event files without jumping back to console
- add log filters at top to facilitate filtering entries by component/log level
- Snapshots
- ability to assign a user to a group to quickly set monitor restrictions
- improved UI for User <=> Monitor Permissions

Wow this greatly reduced the load on my CPU's.

9 Cameras
2x 5mp (15 fps 15 keyframes)
7x 1080p (20 fps 10 keyframes)

Load Average 17-20 (yes I know this is bad, but not spending money on new hardware at moment)

After setting Decoding to Ondemand+keyframes and Y-Channel motion detection Load average is between 1.5 and 2.5.

Impressive change!

I noticed a "SourceSecondPath" appeared in the Source config. But Not sure what it does. Havn't found any documented references to it yet.

ONVIF/Amcrest event notification support: motion detection on the camera

That is exactly what I'm looking for. Can you link to other documentation? Also which Amcrest cameras are known to work? All of the current ones? Or just the AI ones?

Thanks!

Would it be a big deal to make this more granular, maybe with checkboxes for what extraneous info you want?

[iconnor]

Big deal no. Hours of work yes.

Having lots of options makes for lots of code and complexity.

Who is paying for it?

I think a better way to go would be a simpler way to do CSS overrides with a little documentation so you could just add
.Montage .Monitor .state {
display: none;
}

I might be able to pay if the css idea is fairly quick and not too dirty …

I'm also curious about the Amcrest ONVIF event notification. I tried playing with several settings but I could not seem to get the triggers to work with my cameras. I'm using Amcrest IP5M cameras and used some suggestions from other Amcrest users from the forum and other web locations but could not seem to trigger Alarm frames in ZM.

I did enable the ONVIF listener and Amcrest API but when looking at the logs I kept seeing these errors every 10 seconds
