License Plate and Emergency Vehicle Recognition for Gate Control

Flussonic Central now recognizes vehicle movement direction. New fields, vehicle_facing_side and vehicle_emergency_subtype, in analytics help identify whether a vehicle is approaching or leaving the gate and automatically open it for emergency vehicles. This feature allows for more precise access control, enhancing security and reducing the need for manual intervention.

Access to Stream Layout Change History

You can now retrieve the full history of stream layouts using stream_layouts_get in the Admin API. This enables you to see on which servers archives were stored and where stream capture previously occurred. This feature helps you quickly track changes and maintain a comprehensive view of the system’s state at any given time.

RTMP Stream Support in Watcher for Enhanced Monitoring

Watcher now supports receiving RTMP streams, expanding your surveillance system’s capabilities and allowing integration of additional video sources. To start monitoring streams in Watcher, simply create a new camera with the input publish://publish, copy the URL, and start the stream from the source to this address.

Expanded Camera Management Capabilities

Cameras H950e now come with unique root passwords, the NTP client has been added to the fh8852 firmware, and SSH support has been added for JVS-H950e, improving security and making administration more flexible. Additionally, firmware issues with older IRIS cameras have been resolved.

Convenient Camera Path Navigation via Stream API

Now, you can view the full path to a camera within the folder hierarchy using the path field in the stream_get method of the Admin API. This is especially useful if the directory has multiple nested levels, as it provides a clear view of the folder structure, making it easy to locate the necessary data.
