New Features and Improvements

  1. A new GUI has been implemented for all components of the Control Server (GUI: Server of Control) (Monitoring, Video Footage Search (GUI: Search in Archive), Monitoring Reports). Image Removed
  2. Introduced a special operating mode for Auto Intellect industry-specific solution. The Control Agent (GUI: Agent of Control) intercepts Number Identified events and passes the event data to the Control Server (GUI: Server of Control). This data is saved into the Control Server (GUI: Server of Control) database. Upon receiving a Number Identified event, the Control Server (GUI: Server of Control) can automatically check the vehicle registration number against one or several external databases (stolen cars, VIP persons, etc.). If the check result is positive, an alarm is transmitted to the Control Server (GUI: Server of Control) operator. The alarm is also transmitted to the Control Agent (GUI: Agent of Control) software. From a Monitoring interface object, you can open the Find Vehicle Numbers window where you can enter the registration number of interest and retrieve a still picture of the vehicle upon pressing the Load Still Frame button.  The following reports have been added to The Monitoring Reports interface object: Image Removed Image Removed Image Removed
    1. Average time spent at a gas station.
    2. Number of cars.
    3. List of vehicle numbers.
  3. Gateway mode added for Live Video display. After the successful installation of the Control Server (GUI: Server of Control) you can use the Intellect PSIM's Hardware tab to create a Data Gateway object. The Data Gateway is used for streaming videos from the Control Agent (GUI: Agent of Control) to Additional Workstations belonging to other subnet(s) in an installation where the Intellect PSIM components are not comprising a distributed system, since the Video Gateway cannot be applied for this purpose. Image Removed
  4. The 64-bit version of the Intellect kernel is now supported. Image Removed
  5. External databases are now supported by the Control Server (GUI: Server of Control). When installing the Control Server (GUI: Server of Control), you can set a remote SQL server on the monitoring database creation page. Image Removed
  6. An option has been added to automate the loading of video files via the Search in Video Footage (GUI: Archive Search) module. An external system can now communicate with the Search in Video Footage module by means of .xml files via the designated exchange folders. Image Removed
  7. A special operating mode for FSA and ACS modules has been introduced. Using the Control Server (GUI: Server of Control), you can now create new users and set their access rights to each Control Agent (GUI: Agent of Control). The list of user credentials is automatically transmitted to each Control Agent (GUI: Agent of Control). This allows you such options as card-based access to Control Agent (GUI: Agent of Control) enabled sites. The special operating mode is applicable where separate Intellect PSIM components cannot be joined into a distributed video surveillance system.
  8. The Monitoring interface object now has its Control and Log panels synchronized.
    1. An object being selected via the Control panel becomes selected in the Log panel.
    2. The object's right-click context menu is now accessible from both Control and Log panels.
    3. The object filters on both panels are now synchronized.
  9. New filters have been added in the Control and History panels: Image Removed
    1. Alarms. Displays only the objects currently containing short-term alarms not accepted by the operator.
    2. Failures. Displays only the objects currently containing unsolved long-term errors.
    3. Connected.  Displays only the objects currently connected.
    4. Disconnected. Displays only the objects currently disconnected.
  10. You can have additional information about the object displayed: Image Removed
    1. Hard drives' operating temperature
    2. IP address.
    3. Available amount of RAM.
    4. Continuous running time of the Intellect PSIM kernel.
    5. CPU load.
    6. The time of the earliest entry in Video Footage.
  11. Alternative algorithm added for generating Insufficient Video Footage Capacity (GUI: Archive size not enough) alarms. This algorithm handles the cumulative Video Footage  file size for a given number of days rather than for the total elapsed time.
  12. You can now access additional information on each camera's Video Footage  via the Video Footage  Details window.
    1. Time period, days Retention time for a single camera's Video Footage.
    2. Current, days. The size of the currently monitored portion of the Video Footage Backup specified in the Monitor Video Footage  (GUI: Track archive) - Over period (days) setting of the Control Agent (GUI: Agent of Control)
    3. Total time, days Total cumulative size of Video Footage.
    4. Time period, days The currently monitored portion of Video Footage.
    5. Occupancy, %. The parameter indicates the integrity of Video Footage.
    6. First entry. The date of the earliest entry in Video Footage.
    7. Last entry. The date of the most recent entry in Video Footage.
    8. FIFO (GUI:Loop). Indicates that camera videos are recorded cyclically (First In First Out).
    9. Alarm. Indicates insufficient storage capacity for Video Footage.
  13. Added reference guides to: Oblast, District, City. Image Removed
  14. Improved Monitoring Reports interface object: Image Removed
    1. You can now choose a type of report in the object's settings.
    2. While building a report, you can now use filtering by oblast, district, city, failure category, alarm category and alarm notification content.
    3. Export added to .csv file.
    4. Set .xls as the default file format for exporting reports.
    5. While working with reports, the user's navigation over the list of video files is now enhanced with thumbnail display.
  15. Short term alarms' time stamp on a Control Server (GUI: Server of Control) can now be set in accordance with the Control Agent (GUI: Agent of Control). Image Removed
  16. Improved Live Video Viewer module:
    1. Monitoring interface object settings now include Compression parameters for optimal bandwidth consumption. Image Removed
    2. While editing the layout, you can now take advantage of WYSIWIG placement and/or scaling of camera windows. Image Removed
  17. The Alarm Response window (GUI: Reaction to alarm) now offers dedicated buttons to accept all alarms for a currently selected object or all alarms systemwide. Image Removed
  18. The Video Data window now offers dedicated buttons to mark all loaded videos as viewed for a currently selected object or systemwide. Image Removed
  19. You can now manage a Monitoring interface object via scripts:
    1. Create and apply custom filters in the Log panel. Image Removed
    2. Export filtered Log Panel data to .xls files. Image Removed
    3. Show or hide the License Plate Detection window (GUI: License plate search). Image Removed
  20. The Log panel now includes the indication of maximum single disk free space across all logical drives available for Video Footage recording. Image Removed

Bug Fixes

  1. Introduced the Central Control Server. It integrates multiple Control Servers into a unified system. Functions of the Central Control Server are almost identical to ordinary Control Servers (monitoring, live video viewing, still frames and video downloading, reporting) with some limitations. Image Added  
  2. An operator can now initiate a custom "sustained" alarm status. Custom "sustained" alarm statuses are represented by horizontal lines on the Log Panel, as is the case with Camera Off and Connection Lost alarms. Image Added
  3. Improved Archive Search interface object. The video request dialog now includes "Export to AVI" parameter. This parameter allows to select video format and codec for the exported video:
    • Not Used: video is exported as an archive containing directories and files from the VIDEO folder.
    • Source Format: video is exported into .AVI file without being transcoded.
    • Xvid: video is exported into Xvid-coded .AVI file.
    • DivX: video is exported into DivX-coded .AVI file.
    • X264: video is exported into X264-coded .AVI file.
      In Agent of Control, re-coded video is exported using the AviExport.run module. You have to install AviExport.run module version 4.10.5.3776 or higher, and the codecs you plan to use for exporting videos. In Agent of Control versions lower than 11.0.1520, the "Export to AVI" parameter is forced to "Not Used" value. Image Added
  4. In Agent of Control, you can now output small videos along with their relevant alarm events data via the dedicated "Export to AVI" setting. Image Added
  5. Additional workplace configuration tool now includes "AVI-files Player" setting. Image Added
  6. To establish failover, you can now backup all data transferred from the Agent of Control to the backup Control Server. Image Added
  7. Improved Monitoring Reports interface object. You can now set "Show Comment" parameter for System Failures and Alarms report types. Check this option to display  the comment entered by operator into the "Reaction to Alarm" window during the alarm confirmation. Image Added
  8. Introduced new ordering of events in "Reaction to Alarm" and "Event Log" windows. By default, events are now ordered by time of occurring: newer events are displayed at the top of the list. Image Added
  9. Improved Archive Search interface object. The Object Selection window now includes "Fast Search" area where you can enter an ID or name of an object of interest. Image Added
  10. In the context menu, now you can choose to play live and recorded video from sites and facilities. To bring on screen all camera videos from the specified Partition of Control, select "All Cameras of Partition of Control" from the context menu. Out of all cameras created in Agent of Control, only cameras specified in Partition of Control settings will be displayed. Image Added
  11. The Agent of Control has now an enhanced form for adding/removing events for Monitoring. Along with selected object type and its relevant event, internal IDs are displayed that can be used in scripts and other applications. Image Added
  12. You can now restrict operator's access to camera menu positions, CamMonitor buttons and HID controls. Image Added
  13. Log Panel can now be displayed in a light color scheme. Image Added
  14. Added an option to set a path to a folder where videos are exported to from the live/recorded footage viewing tile. Image Added
  15. For the Monitoring interface object, you can now set "Video Stream Speed, FPS" parameter not only for live video but also for recorded footage. This requires CamMonitor component's version no less than 4.11.0.1766. Image Added
  16. Added a new object visualization mode in Control Panel and Owners Panel. If the time since the last DB update exceeds 30 minutes, all objects in Control Panel and Owners Panel become diagonally hatched. This is a visual indication of a potential issue with database updates. Image Added

Bug Fixes
