Official version Xeoma 24.2.14 (February 22, 2024):

  • Preview and Archive: New feature: when hovering the cursor over the timeline in Xeoma’s Archive Player, you will now get to see small thumbnails – mini preview pictures of some key frames within those episodes, much like when viewing a video on YouTube. Those mini previews will showcase key frames of the recording episode your mouse is hovering over, thus compressing hours of recordings into seconds to watch through.
  • Remote Access: An easy way to connect – with a QR code – has been added for Android-powered devices. Now you can generate a QR code in Xeoma’s ‘Users’ dialog, which will contain all connection data needed to connect to that Server part of Xeoma from a Xeoma Client. Just scan the QR code with the special option in your Xeoma for Android app’s Connection Dialog (Main menu -> Remote access -> Connect to). The QR code will work for both ‘Administrator’ and a ‘User’ of Xeoma, with regular IP-address connection and with P2P connection.
  • Support for hardware acceleration on AMD Radeon graphics cards has been added! Also, hardware acceleration used for decoding of camera video streams has been greatly improved in Windows and Linux systems using Intel processors or Nvidia graphics cards.
  • Preview and Archive: A noise reduction option ‘Enable noise reduction’ has been added to the settings of the ‘Preview and Archive’ module. The option works with any audio types in Xeoma, and delivers clean sound even when the direct saving to the archive is used. This feature becomes available for all cameras if Xeoma Pro license for at least 1 camera is activated, and also for Xeoma Pro Trial edition.
  • Text Recognition: Special optimizations for working with meter readings have been added to the ‘Text Recognition’ module. To take advantage of this feature, check the new ‘Meter’ setting, and the module will switch to a mode optimized for working specifically with meters of various types (water, electric, natural gas ones, etc.).
  • Face Recognition: A new option – ‘Use additional detection via MTCNN’ – has been added to the ‘Face Recognition’ module, which allows you to improve the quality of finding faces in the frame. The new option is compatible with both recognition algorithms (statistical analysis and AI). To enable the feature, check it and allow Xeoma to download additional materials for work. Please note that using this feature imposes additional CPU load.
  • ANPR (License Plate Recognition): A new country – Iraq – has been added to the Additional package of enhanced ANPR, which adds up to the previously available North American, CIS countries, Jordan and Japan. This is the first time the Advanced ANPR option has support for Arabic symbols, too!
  • Streaming to Youtube: The ‘Streaming to Youtube’ module now offers streaming to an alternative platform called RuTube. All you need is an rtmp link and the broadcast key from RuTube, and off your broadcast goes! See detailed guide here
  • New feature: Notifications. A new item called ‘Notifications’ has been added to Main Menu -> Remote Access. Inside, you can configure the receipt of notifications on your mobile device when the connection to a Xeoma server or an external device is lost. Unlike Xeoma’s other module for system health monitoring – ‘Problem Detector’ that is also capable of detecting the occurrence of problems – ‘Notifications’ has the unique ability to send an alarm message when a Xeoma server stops working, for example, due to a power outage! Also, ‘Notifications’ will work even without connecting the ‘Mobile Notifications’ module to the chain. The only thing required is to give the Xeoma application on your mobile device permissions to show notifications the first time you connect to the Xeoma Server with the ‘Notifications’ feature.
  • Device List: Search has been added to the ‘Groups’ dialog. Simply enter a camera’s IP address or name into the search box to find it in a matter of seconds. Besides, now there is a CTRL+G (CMD+G for Mac) hotkey to open the Groups pop up in any window, including Xeoma’s embedded Archive Player.
  • New feature: autofocus. The new version of Xeoma offers the option to automatically check for loss of focus on cameras with ONVIF-facilitated support for PTZ, and attempt to return it. Find ‘Autofocus Settings’ in the ‘Universal Camera’ module settings and select one of the two options: ‘Autofocus based on image analysis’ which makes the program constantly check the camera scene for signs of defocusing, or ‘Autofocus at regular time interval’ to just make the camera focus back regularly at given intervals.
  • QR Code Recognition: The pass list option has been added to the ‘QR Code Recognition’ module. With the new option, the module allows to create a ‘white list’ of codes to react to (or the other way around – make the system only react to codes not from the list). All you need to do is just enter the text behind the QR code into the ‘Whitelist the code below’ field and select the desired mode in the ‘Module reaction type’ drop-down menu.
  • Search for DVRs that do not support ONVIF has been improved. Upon detection of such DVRs, the new version of Xeoma is able to add all its cameras, not just one as before.
  • Problems Detector: The log file of the ‘Problems Detector’ module has been enhanced. Now, when the ‘Processor load’ is engaged, the log file will not just have an entry about the processor load being higher than the threshold you set, but also state the current CPU load in %.
  • Xeoma Pro Trial edition: The ‘Search by motion’ (the search for motion within an area) has been added to the Trial version of the Xeoma Pro edition.
  • webRTC: The advances of Xeoma’s webRTC are now available to ARM-based servers (with the ARMv7 or ARMv8 architecture). Since webRTC is the ultra contemporary way of streaming that allows to shift part of the camera processing load onto the web browser’s side, it is compact and less powerful machines such as ARM-powered micro computers that could benefit from it the most.
  • Face Detector (Emotions): The new option to set up the range of face recognition has been added to the emotion recognition module. Set the maximum distance where the face is expected to appear with a ‘Range of face recognition’ slider to increase the accuracy with which the module detects faces and recognizes emotions. Please note that greater distances will yield higher processor load.
  • The messages that Xeoma displays when the ‘Show camera information’ option is enabled in ‘Layouts’ -> ‘Visualization settings’ have been enhanced. Now, the information updates more frequently and includes incoming and outgoing network speed of Xeoma’s Server and Client part. Besides, the camera information will stay even if you switch to the Quick Settings (Single Camera view) Window or the Detailed Settings Window.
  • A new launch parameter – -nosearchservers – has been added for the launch of Xeoma Client parts. This command will make Xeoma opt out of searching for any Xeoma servers in the network to connect to. The automatic search for Xeoma servers lists all found Xeoma Servers in the Connection Dialog, making selection of a server to connect easier for a security operator. But if required, it can now be refrained from with the new command.
  • PTZ Presets, Tours: More time options have been added to the ‘Stay time’ option of the preset and tour setup dialog, so that now the pause before moving on to another preset can last up to 24 hours. See more about the setup of this Xeoma Pro feature
  • Xeoma Pro Trial edition: The ‘Play ONVIF archive’ feature that has been previously added for viewing of the recordings from ONVIF-compliant cameras or DVRs directly in the Xeoma’s Archive Player, is now available for tests even in the Trial version of Xeoma Pro. See more about this feature
  • HTTP Request Sender: More lines for parameters are now available in the ‘HTTP Request Sender’ module, which means that you can use as many parameters for the http command as you’d need now.
  • Smoke Detector: A new advanced algorithm – ‘Smoke and fire detection with CUDA’ – has been added, which significantly increases the accuracy of smoke and fire detection. To begin using the new advanced recognition method, select the CUDA option from the dropdown ‘Working mode’ option and wait until the additional resources required for work are downloaded. Please note that a CUDA-supporting Nvidia graphics card is required.
  • Text Recognition: New enhanced artificial intelligence algorithms have been added to the ‘Text Recognition’ module, which has resulted in significantly better text detection and reading.
  • Face Recognition: A new recognition method – ‘Artificial intelligence using CNN (ConvNet)’ – has been added to the module’s ‘Face detection algorithm’ options. The new method is optimized to work with Asian face types resulting in higher accuracy of their recognition. This work method is available in Xeoma Pro and has basically the same conditions as the ‘Statistical analysis’ option, and does not summarize with other Face Recognition’s work methods (statistical analysis or artificial intelligence).
  • The previously introduced ‘Freight Unloading Counter’ filter module that detects freight vehicles in the camera field of view and counts the ones that got unloaded, has been enhanced, which results in higher accuracy of recognition and counting.
  • Cross-Line Detector: The ‘Cross-Line Detector’ module now allows to use separate reactions with each drawn line. It means that you can add all the needed reactions to the chain after ‘Cross-Line Detector’, then draw all required lines in the monitoring zone, and choose a reaction for each of them with the new ‘Selected line’ and ‘Destination filter’ elements underneath the zone.
  • JSON API: Support for the special character “%” in the name and password of a user, whose credentials are used to send API commands.
  • webRTC: Motion visualization has been added for viewing of webRTC streams through the web interface. Now, if you have webRTC enabled in your ‘Web Server’ module and use a ‘Motion Detector’, you can see green frames around moving objects in Xeoma’s web interface like you do when viewing cameras through a Xeoma Client.
  • QR Code Recognition: Fixed the visualization of a recognized QR code. Now the frame around a detected QR code matches its size.
  • Fixed gray distortions that would appear while shifting between the Single or Multi-Camera View and the Archive Player. See other reasons for gray distortions
  • PTZ: Fixed an issue when PTZ control of cameras would not work in Xeoma if one of the cameras was going through a PTZ guard tour.
  • Xeoma Pro Your Cloud: Fixed failing to record archives if an FTP Receiver was used as a video source for a video stream with sound.
  • RTSP Broadcasting: Fixed an issue when ‘RTSP Broadcasting’ could fail to start working the first time it was added.
  • Mobile Notifications: Enhanced landing into the archive after clicking on a mobile notification. Now the archive will open on an even more precise position, which will help you get straight to watching the needed episode.
  • Fixed an issue where Xeoma that has been installed to autostart on Mac OSX systems would not ask for required permissions when recording to an external drive was selected.
  • Fixed an issue with empty USB cameras being added to Xeoma during a search on Raspberry Pi 2 or Raspberry Pi 3 micro computers.
  • HTTP Request Sender: Fixed incorrect length calculation in the Content-Length header of HTTP requests.
  • Web interface: Fixed glitches of the archive player in Xeoma’s web interface that would appear when playing back webRTC archives of recordings with varying resolutions.
  • Enhanced Xeoma’s feature to search for Xeoma servers from Xeoma Clients. Now it works for Xeoma servers that are located in different subnetworks than the Client.
  • Fixed sound delay in Xeoma running on macOS machines with an M1 processor.
  • Improved smoothness of m3u8 video streams in Xeoma.
  • Fixed an issue in Detailed settings when modules would occasionally end up visually shuffled in a chain.
  • Motion detector: Fixed the issue with ‘Motion Detector’ stopping working if switched from the ‘Detect only absence of motion during’ mode of work to the regular motion detection mode.
  • Ubuntu: Fixed occasional crashes from using the ‘Screen Capture’ module on Ubuntu 22.04.
  • Export: Windows OS: Fixed export fails if the folder path has a dot (‘.’) in the name.

Official version Xeoma 23.8.10 (August 10, 2023):
  • Fixed operation of artificial intelligence options in the ‘Motion Detector’, ‘Object Recognizer’, ‘Cross-Line Detector’, ‘Visitors Counter’, ‘Parking Spots’ modules. Before the fix, there had been an issue that in old operating systems the modules would sometimes stop working after the Xeoma update, and in new UNIX-based systems Xeoma would sometimes display a false warning that a few more libraries were required for these features to function.

Official version Xeoma 23.7.4 (July 12, 2023):
  • Added new licensing model for the ‘Object Recognizer’ Additional module! Now, in addition to usual licenses for recognizing objects of the desired type (drones and airplanes / seabirds / people, vehicles, animals and others), this module will also accept a new, universal license that will allow you to use any type of objects you need. A new license is purchased for the number of cameras on the server that will use the “Object Recognizer” module multiplied by the number of different types of objects. See more in the Object Recognizer Setup Guide
  • P2P: Added support for P2P connection in the ‘HTTP Upload to Other Xeoma‘ and ‘HTTP Receiver‘ modules.
  • Preview and Archive: Added the new ‘Latest position (global)’ choice in the Xeoma Archive Viewer’s ‘Start position’ option. This new option will make it easier to watch archive recordings of an event across different cameras in Xeoma’s Archive Viewer since recordings will be starting playback in the same date and time spot.
  • Preview and Archive: Improved view of archive recordings in Xeoma’s Archive Viewer after server restart. Now recordings will become available as soon as their own re-indexing is finished, so you do not have to wait until full re-indexing is completed.
  • Accelerated auto search and addition of cameras.
  • Accelerated the speed to Xeoma server start.
  • Added the option to disable or enable attempts to match generic passwords with cameras during Xeoma’s auto search for cameras.
  • Supported operating systems: Added support for HarmonyOS. You can download Xeoma for HarmonyOS from the Huawei AppGallery store or from our Download page.
  • Rebranding: Added the new <Email> block to the rebranding/customization tool that can be used to embed information on where to send an email with a screenshot after the ‘Screenshot’ button is clicked, and to make this data protected from changing.
  • Rebranding: Added the new ‘MessageTextColor’ and ‘MessageBackColor’ parameters to the rebranding/customization tool that can be used to change font color and background color for the warnings in the bottom right corner of camera’s preview boxes (for example, the system health messages from ‘Problems Detector’).
  • Motion Detector: Added a new option to set the required accuracy level of the humans or cars recognition option in ‘Motion Detector’. This will help to fine tune the setting to match your environment and get rid of alarms caused by lower recognition accuracy.
  • Parking Spots: Improved quality of work of the ‘Parking Spots’ and ‘HTTP Request Sender’ modules combination. Now the module can get and send information about the ‘Free’ status instead of just the ‘Occupied’ status.
  • PTZ: Improved accuracy of camera rotation with the recently added ‘PTZ by click’ option.
  • Xeoma Pro: Improved speed and smoothness of recordings playback in the simultaneous archive view mode.
  • Mobile notifications: Fixed the issue where notifications from ‘Problems Detector‘ wouldn’t arrive in the ‘Mobile Notifications’ module.
  • Preview and Archive: Improved smoothness and speed of playback at minimum speed in the Xeoma’s Archive Viewer (the so called frame-by-frame view).
  • JSON API: Improved the search command that is used for camera search automation – now it displays an error when a camera couldn’t be added.
  • Web Server: Fixed incorrect display of several checkboxes in Xeoma web interface when using a browser’s ‘white theme’.
  • P2P: Fixed an issue with P2P connection to a server machine that uses an unusual certificate.
  • Eliminated creation of excessive backup files for Xeoma settings by ‘Problems Detector’.
  • Xeoma Pro Your Cloud: Fixed the issue with the MultiArchivePaths parameter (used to distribute user data across several folders or disks), where new information in this parameter wouldn’t apply after the first restart.
  • Fixed authorization issues in ‘HTTP Marking’, “HTTP Switcher”, “HTTP Receiver”.
  • QR Code Recognition: Fixed issues with false triggering and excessive lines in CSV reports by this module when QR code is nowhere in sight.
  • Fixed the issue with interface elements overlaying each other in the ‘Active licenses’ dialog (Main menu -> Information -> Active licenses).
  • Fixed the issue with the CTRL button getting ‘stuck’ after being used in the ‘Active licenses’ dialog, which resulted in interface scaling up or down whenever mouse wheel was used even outside of this dialog.
  • Fixed the software crash that would happen at attempts to add a Dahua camera.

Beta version Xeoma 23.6.14 (June 15, 2023):

  • Freight Unloading Counter: Added the new ‘Freight Unloading Counter’ filter module that can be used to track how many loadouts a freight vehicle has done in a shift. The same freight vehicle is recognized by a unique number on its side (min. 2 digits long). Such gathered information on unloading can be passed on to the ‘Marking’ module for overlaying over camera image. Read more
  • Added new licensing model for the ‘Object Recognizer’ Additional module! Now, in addition to usual licenses for recognizing objects of the desired type (drones and airplanes / seabirds / people, vehicles, animals and others), this module will also accept a new, universal license that will allow you to use any type of objects you need. A new license is purchased for the number of cameras on the server that will use the “Object Recognizer” module multiplied by the number of different types of objects. See more in the Object Recognizer Setup Guide
  • P2P: Added support for P2P connection in the ‘HTTP Upload to Other Xeoma‘ and ‘HTTP Receiver‘ modules.
  • Preview and Archive: Added the new ‘Latest position (global)’ choice in the Xeoma Archive Viewer’s ‘Start position’ option. This new option will make it easier to watch archive recordings of an event across different cameras in Xeoma’s Archive Viewer since recordings will be starting playback in the same date and time spot.
  • Preview and Archive: Improved view of archive recordings in Xeoma’s Archive Viewer after server restart. Now recordings will become available as soon as their own re-indexing is finished, so you do not have to wait until full re-indexing is completed.
  • Accelerated auto search and addition of cameras.
  • Accelerated the speed to Xeoma server start.
  • Added the option to disable or enable attempts to match generic passwords with cameras during Xeoma’s auto search for cameras.

  • Rebranding: Added the new ‘MessageTextColor’ and ‘MessageBackColor’ parameters to the rebranding/customization tool that can be used to change font color and background color for the warnings in the bottom right corner of camera’s preview boxes (for example, the system health messages from ‘Problems Detector’).
  • Motion Detector: Added a new option to set the required accuracy level of the humans or cars recognition option in ‘Motion Detector’. This will help to fine tune the setting to match your environment and get rid of alarms caused by lower recognition accuracy.
  • Parking Spots: Improved quality of work of the ‘Parking Spots’ and ‘HTTP Request Sender’ modules combination. Now the module can get and send information about the ‘Free’ status instead of just the ‘Occupied’ status.
  • PTZ: Improved accuracy of camera rotation with the recently added ‘PTZ by click’ option.
  • Xeoma Pro: Improved speed and smoothness of recordings playback in the simultaneous archive view mode.
  • Mobile notifications: Fixed the issue where notifications from ‘Problems Detector‘ wouldn’t arrive in the ‘Mobile Notifications’ module.
  • Preview and Archive: Improved smoothness and speed of playback at minimum speed in the Xeoma’s Archive Viewer (the so called frame-by-frame view).
  • JSON API: Improved the search command that is used for camera search automation – now it displays an error when a camera couldn’t be added.
  • Web Server: Fixed incorrect display of several checkboxes in Xeoma web interface when using a browser’s ‘white theme’.
  • P2P: Fixed an issue with P2P connection to a server machine that uses an unusual certificate.
  • Eliminated creation of excessive backup files for Xeoma settings by ‘Problems Detector’.
  • Xeoma Pro Your Cloud: Fixed the issue with the MultiArchivePaths parameter (used to distribute user data across several folders or disks), where new information in this parameter wouldn’t apply after the first restart.
  • Fixed authorization issues in ‘HTTP Marking’, “HTTP Switcher”, “HTTP Receiver”.
  • QR Code Recognition: Fixed issues with false triggering and excessive lines in CSV reports by this module when QR code is nowhere in sight.
  • Fixed the issue with interface elements overlaying each other in the ‘Active licenses’ dialog (Main menu -> Information -> Active licenses).
  • Fixed the issue with the CTRL button getting ‘stuck’ after being used in the ‘Active licenses’ dialog, which resulted in interface scaling up or down whenever mouse wheel was used even outside of this dialog.

 

Official version Xeoma 23.3.22 (March 30, 2023):
  • Xeoma Pro: Added a unique feature to open recordings that are stored in a DVR or a camera’s SD card and play them in the Xeoma player. This new feature only works for ONVIF-compliant devices, of which we recommend ones made by HikVision. To open the “ONVIF archive” for a camera, connect it to Xeoma, go to Xeoma’s archive viewer by clicking the “Play” button for this camera, and select the “Play ONVIF archive” option in the archive viewer menu.
  • LDAP: Added an option to log in with LDAP user profile credentials through Xeoma’s web interface. Like with logging in through a web browser with a Xeoma’s user profile data, the LDAP user will see the cameras and features configured for their profile.
  • LDAP: Added LDAP integration with FreeIPA, a Linux-based identity management system similar to Microsoft’s Active Directory.
  • Mobile Notifications: Improved sending of mobile notifications on Android. Now, by clicking on the incoming notification, Xeoma opens the archive player directly on the event that triggered the notification.
  • Cross-Line Detector: Added the ability to work in conjunction with the “Face Recognition”, the “QR code recognition” and the “Text Recognition” modules. Connect the filter module from this list before the Cross-Line detector to keep counting only the required objects.
  • USB Joystick: A new joystick mode has been added, where you can set a button that will switch cameras in turn on the selected tab and return to the tab overview.
  • Archive player: Added reverse playback of recordings in Xeoma’s archive player. Available for both MJPEG and H264 recordings, including the “smaller” archive (lower quality saved with parallel recording) and simultaneous view of several archives.
  • Archive player: Added hotkeys for the new reverse playback function. Now you can use the keyboard’s “+” to engage regular forward playback, or “-” to enable reverse playback.
  • Archive player: Fixed long loading of records after restarting the server. Reading information about records from the database has been accelerated, so you can now enter the archive player much faster after restarting the server.
  • Export: Added a new format – wav – to the Export dialog of the Xeoma’s archive player. This format will help you export an extract with just sound, no video.
  • Archive: Improved auto-selection of remaining free disk space for records set with the global “Always leave free disk space” setting. Now, if the value of this setting has been changed manually, the newly set value will be used. If this is not done, then the automatically set value recommended by the program will be used.
  • Archive player: Improved frame-by-frame scrolling of recordings in Xeoma archive player. Now moving around has become more smooth and stable.
  • Archive player: Improved smoothness when dragging the slider on the timeline by ensuring all frames are displayed.
  • Secure connection: The “Enable secure https connection” option has been added to the “Web Server” module to enable connection encryption through the browser. Now secure connection can be selected directly in the settings, there is no need to configure it outside Xeoma, as before. Select the option in the module and use Xeoma’s self-signed certificate – or place your own SSL certificate in the path indicated next to the option (the path itself is not editable).
  • Added the option to view passwords hidden by asterisks. In order to view such a hidden password, click on the “crossed eye” icon in the right corner of the field. In order to hide the password back, click on the icon again (in the password display mode, the “crossed eye” changes its look to just “eye”). This is available in all dialogs where there are hidden passwords, both for the Administrator and for operators who have access to settings.
  • Eye Tracking: Added the option to save CSV reports that will have a date and time of triggering events. As always, these reports can be used for analysis, graphs building, or integration with third-party systems.
  • GPIO: Added the option to configure and use multiple pins at once.
  • Cross-Line Detector: Added a new option to display crossing statistics for a specified period. The calculation is based on module’s CSV reports.
  • Sending Email: Added the option to select the language for messages sent from the “Motion Detector” or “Problems Detector” modules. Previously, all messages were in English only.
  • Sending Email: Added the option to enable logging of the module’s operation. This will be a great tool to keep tabs on the stability of the module, especially if the program works offline, with notifications of critical events. To do this, use the “Record found issues into a log file” option in the module settings. By default, both errors and successful sending events will be logged, but you can choose to log only sending errors due to issues in communication with the sending server.
  • Problems Detector: New options have been added to fine-tune the “Camera image too dark” option, which will help you get notified if the camera becomes obscured, excluding false alarms.
  • Motion Detector: Improved selection of the detection zone in the Motion Detector if the aspect ratio in the low and the high resolution streams is different. Modules with a monitoring zone, including Motion Detector, will now show one for the stream that is selected for operation (by default, it is the Preview stream, and if the option “Use the high resolution stream from archive” is checked, then it will be the Archive stream).
  • Web Server: Optimized webRTC performance with the Edge browser.
  • Problems Detector: Added the ability to download the log file via the client. Now the log file can be obtained even with a remote connection.

Official version Xeoma 22.12.5 (December, 6 2022):
  • Remote access: Innovation in remote access from different networks: now Xeoma can do the client-to-server connection through P2P, without the need to have a ‘public’ IP address on the server. This new connection method is supported in all Xeoma editions (except for the Free edition that doesn’t support any type of remote access) and all supported operating systems. The technology is simple: an intermediary cloud server is used to interconnect the client and the server part, and right after connection they communicate directly, without sending camera streams, settings, etc. to the P2P intermediary. Read more here
  • Xeoma Pro: Added the new possibility to Xeoma’s PTZ control to rotate and zoom in the camera to an object or an area by click. Previously, this mechanism has been available in the ePTZ (digital zoom) feature exclusively; now it is available for cameras with PTZ capabilities. After clicking on a special button in Xeoma’s PTZ control, you will be able to select an area with a mouse (or click on a place) in camera image to have the PTZ camera rotate there and zoom in on it to fit the screen. This feature is available with the Xeoma Pro license. See more about all PTZ options in Xeoma here
  • Added switching to Trial versions for all Xeoma commercial editions (Xeoma Starter, Xeoma Lite, Xeoma Standard and Xeoma Pro) right from Xeoma interface. Previously, Xeoma could only be switched to the Trial version of the Xeoma Pro edition from within its interface. This change will come in handy if you are interested in a certain Xeoma edition, and would like to test if this edition satisfies your needs.
  • Motion Detector: For ONVIF-compliant cameras the new option is added to use a camera’s built-in motion detector instead of Xeoma’s. This will help to shift some of the CPU load on to the camera’s side or to get an alternative detector if Xeoma’s doesn’t suit you for any reason. Previously, this could have been done with the ‘Camera-Embedded Detector’ module; now it’s available right from the ‘Motion Detector’ module settings.
  • Terminal/console: added support for additional parameters that you can input while using the installation command in console. The parameters will be automatically added to the autostart script without the need for you to edit it manually any more, as it was the case before. For example, if -install -coreauto -serverport 8888 is executed, the autostart script will have the -serverport 8888 parameter added automatically. See supported console commands
  • Added hotkeys to quickly scale the Xeoma interface which previously has been possible only with the Layouts menu. Use a combination of CTRL and + or mouse wheel up to make all elements larger, and CTRL and – or mouse wheel down to make all elements smaller.
  • JSON API/Web Server: The broadcasting of archive recordings over RTSP that has been added in version 22.8.16 now works in 32-bit Linux systems as well.
  • RTSP Broadcasting: The ‘RTSP Broadcasting’ module now features the choice of a tool to use for broadcasts: the traditional ffserver that has more options and more operating systems supported, or the newer and more stable live555 that works only on 32- and 64-bit Windows and Linux.
  • Unitor: The ‘Unitor’ module now has the option to choose which of the combined cameras with support for PTZ should accept PTZ commands.
  • Telegram Bot Notifications: Improved stable work, fixed occasionally missing messages sent by the new ‘Telegram Bot Notifications’ module.
  • Multi-server mode: Added support for PTZ control for OMNY cameras.
  • Multi-server mode: Added support for PTZ presets as well as setting up speed of PTZ tours (as in the regular mode, a Xeoma Pro license is required for the PTZ presets and tours functionality).
  • Android: Optimized permissions for the client part in Xeoma Android app. Also, fixed the issue with no longer displaying the permission dialog after two rejections in OS Android 12.
  • Android: Optimized interface and its elements in Xeoma Android app. Now, using Xeoma in Android devices with a small screen is made far more convenient.
  • Fixed camera search at the first launch of the program. Previously, when Xeoma was launched for the first time and it was looking for cameras with the ‘Search by IP/password’ option, it might have missed cameras and find them only with the second search.
  • Web server: Enhanced Xeoma web interface. Fixed minor issues with browsers’ dark themes and with displaying some of the interface elements.
  • Web server: Download of the ‘Problems Detector’ log file through Xeoma web interface is made available again.
  • Fixed crash under MacOS 10.15 and up that would occur when access to the device’s USB camera was prohibited.
  • Fixed crash under Android when the Multi-server mode was used.
  • Fixed the issue with saving settings for a USB joystick control of PTZ cameras in the Multi-server mode.

Official version Xeoma 22.8.16 (August, 18 2022):
  • Slip and Fall Detector: The ‘Slip and Fall Detector’ Additional module introduces higher-performing algorithms of detection of falls.
  • Safety Gear Detector: like many other intellectual features in Xeoma, the ‘Safety Gear Detector’ Additional module now has the visualization of detected objects available (frame around the object). This will help to instantly raise situational awareness with just one glance at the security monitor.
  • Xeoma Pro: The ‘ANPR‘ module now features a new ‘Vehicle pre-detection’ option that ensures that the neural networks in this module first locate a vehicle in the frame, and then proceed to look for a license plate within it. This method will facilitate combating frauds and provide higher performance of the algorithms.
  • JSON API: Xeoma API has been complemented with more commands: this time for adding or removing users (adduser= and removeuser=), or modification of user rights (getpermissions= and setpermissions=). See more in the Xeoma API page.
  • JSON API: a new command servertime= is added to Xeoma API that returns the server’s current time. The command will come in handy, for example, to establish the server time and then proceed with requesting archive extracts with the correct time.
  • JSON API: the newly introduced Xeoma API command start_rtsp_archive= will help retrieve an extract of an H264/H265 archive through RTSP. No transcoding is applied to the ‘original’ format of the recordings which means acceptable CPU load, as compared for example to the previously available Xeoma Pro’s ‘RTSP Broadcasting’ module that is mainly used for transcoding into RTSP. This new command will be useful in integrated systems with the need to display Xeoma recordings.
  • Users: Xeoma Lite and Xeoma Starter editions now also have the Users menu (Main menu > Remote Access > Users). This dialog can be used to change the Administrator password, set preferences for Xeoma interface and time, etc., i.e. all regular settings of the ‘Users’ window, except for user profiles which are still unavailable in these modes.
  • Web Server: improved Xeoma web interface. A new, more stylish design with better fonts replaced the old one, with the dark theme available in the menu.
  • Web Server webRTC broadcasting: users that have sound access restrictions can now receive and view webRTC broadcasts (without sound).
  • Multi-server mode: The interactive eMAP feature is now available in the Multi-Server mode. Now security operators can use the site floor plan with cameras on it to quickly jump to a triggered camera – even if they are connected to several servers at once.
  • Multi-server mode: fixed not saving Pages order in the upper Pages panel.
  • The Layouts menu once again has the possibility to lower the client window refreshing rate when needed (for example, in low bandwidth networks). Find this option in the ‘Window settings’ submenu.
  • HTTP Marking: marking can now be applied to high res H264/H265 streams in client parts when the ‘decoding on the client side’ option is enabled. Previously only the ‘Marking’ module’s date/time subtitles could be applied to streams during the ‘direct saving to the archive’ regime.
  • Linux: fixed issue with launching a shortcut for Xeoma client in Ubuntu 20 and up.
  • Import of settings and pages preferences: added a more informative explanation in errors at an attempt to import settings and pages preferences (for example, if the file is not found or is invalid).
  • Fixed occasional server freezes caused by audio streams.
  • Camera-Embedded Detector: fixed issues occasionally occurring in the Camera-Embedded Detector where the module stopped working while there are still events incoming.
  • SD card synchronization: fixed issues with import of recordings shorter than 1-minute long.
  • Android: fixed issues with settings import in a client under Android.
  • Connection Dialog: fixed the issue with not saving password in the Connection Dialog despite the ticked ‘Save password’checkbox.
  • Fixed occasional crashes of Xeoma’s server part after installation in Linux systems.
  • Fixed issue with web archives not showing in web browser interface.
  • Fixed issue with Xeoma’s server part freezing at client connection attempts.

Official version Xeoma 22.3.16 (March, 16 2022):
  • Object Recognizer: a new, higher-performing method of object recognition has been introduced in the ‘Object Recognizer’ Additional module for systems utilizing NVidia graphics cards with support for CUDA technology. All you need to do is tick the new option in the ‘Object Recognizer’ module settings, and you will get higher recognition accuracy of the same object types for the same price.
  • Object Recognizer: like many other Xeoma intellectual modules, the ‘Object Recognizer’ Additional module now features CSV reports that log date/time and what type of objects are recognized in the selected vision field, and the accuracy percentage of recognition.
  • Additional module ANPR: Japan is added to the list of countries Xeoma’s Additional module ANPR works for! Which makes it 13 countries – from Kazakhstan to the USA – now supported, all for one price, no fee per image or monthly subscription needed. The Japan option is available for a limited range of processors (the requirements are similar to China license plate recognition). See more in the Additional ANPR promo page
  • Archive: added the high-demand feature to save a smaller copy of the archive recordings along with the main archive. Its most common use is to provide a longer retention time for video evidence while optimizing the disk space requirements. Besides, the smaller archive will be a great aid in reducing the CPU load during simultaneous view of several archives (a feature available in Xeoma Pro), and in exporting pieces of important video in a tight network. See more here
  • Xeoma Pro webAPI: a new feature to use a webApi command to initiate search by recognized objects in a camera’s archive recordings and send the resulting file to the specified FTP server has been added. Available with a Xeoma Pro license.
  • Layouts: Added a new Layouts mode – automated switching to a Page with an active (triggered) camera on it. A triggered camera is one that has ongoing recording process at the moment, or one that has warning messages displayed for (for example, Problems Detector messages). Enable it in the Layouts menu (‘window’ icon in the lower icons panel).
  • Rebranding: the rebranding tool now features an opportunity to change the default address for the “Cloud in 1 click” service. Use the “CloudServiceAddress” parameter in the “oem_info.xml” file to change the address.
  • Xeoma Pro Your Cloud: a new parameter “ListOfEnabledModules” is now available in user configs and the main (global) config. The parameter can be used to list modules that are allowed to be used by a subscriber or subscribers. Formerly, we used to have a parameter utilized to prohibit modules only but the new one is more convenient for minimalist subscription plans where just a few modules need to be allowed.
  • Xeoma Pro Your Cloud: a new parameter “EditArchivePaths” is now available in user configs and the main (global) config. The parameter can be used to allow subscribers to input the path to save recordings to. Use the parameter for a subscriber or subscribers, and they will see a corresponding field in the ‘Preview and Archive’ module settings.
  • Archive: added the option to instruct Xeoma not to create missing folders from the specified archive storage path. This modification will be mainly useful in Unix systems and when a disk is mounted in a specified folder by the user. You can enable this feature with the corresponding option in the ‘Preview and Archive’ module settings.
  • Users: the Users dialog now asks for a confirmation of your choice to remove a user profile. This is introduced to help avoid deletion of user profiles that are actually in use, by mistake.
  • Xeoma Pro webAPI: Fixed response to the http://IP:10090/?archive_list= webApi request. Previous versions of Xeoma might have had archives that are no longer used in Xeoma listed in the response to this request. Starting from this version, the response will only list archives that are actually used.
  • PTZ: Fixed the issue with PTZ cameras that support 360-degree rotation where automated rotation would suddenly stop during a long turn.
  • Xeoma Pro Your Cloud: Fixed a web interface issue where some cameras might have been missing from a subscriber’s web interface if the password had special symbols.
  • Fixed the issue where there was a delay in setting proper access rights in Linux systems when a camera’s archive folder was first created, or a new day subfolder was first created, which often resulted in issues when accessed from external programs.
  • Xeoma Pro Your Cloud: fixed intermittent application of the LoginPasswordDelimiter parameter.
  • Universal Camera: fixed gradually increasing latency as compared to the live video feed caused by the ‘Buffering’ option in the ‘Universal Camera’ module settings.
  • PTZ: fixed disappearance of the PTZ control for added PTZ cameras after server is restarted.
  • Accelerated camera search launched from the ‘Universal Camera’ module settings.
  • Autostart settings. Fixed the issue where commands from Xeoma’s Autostart settings (Install submenu) have not been executed.
  • Multiserver mode: Fixed the issue where connection was denied for all servers in the list of Multiserver mode if one of them was a Xeoma Cloud server address.
  • Fixed false triggering of modules connected in the chain after filters (for example, a ‘Motion Detector’) when there were some issues with the preview stream from the camera.

  • Xeoma Pro: improved the timeline operation for the “simultaneous view of several archives” mode. Now, to quick jump to a specific data and time you can click on the corresponding place in any of the colored lines on a timeline.
  • Layouts: improved the “unassigned cameras” Page. Now the “unassigned cameras” Page changes dynamically: cameras that have been assigned are removed from this Page, and new unassigned cameras are automatically added to this Page.
  • Archive recordings viewer: quick pause and start of playback is once again available upon clicking on any place in camera image.
  • The Connection Dialog now has the auto filling option for the list of servers. Just start typing the server address, and the servers in the list will be sorted out, showing only those corresponding to what you typed. This improvement will be most useful for systems that handle connection to dozens of Xeoma servers.
  • Web Server: a search bar added to a Xeoma page with the list of cameras that can be used for a quick search for an added camera by its name.
  • Layouts: a new Pages mode added. When it is used, all connected clients will automatically be switched to a Page that displays triggered (‘active’) cameras. This mode will be perfect for a strict protocol systems where operators are obliged to view alerts and triggered cameras.
  • Notifications sent with the Mobile notifications module now will also work in Xeoma’s Trial mode. That means that like almost 100 features of Xeoma, this feature can now be tested without having to purchase a Xeoma license.
  • Added automated activation of communication through ONVIF protocol for HikVision cameras during a scan for cameras. Before this change HikVision cameras sometimes failed to be added to Xeoma (even manually) because of ONVIF communication disabled in the settings. Now if you enter authorization credentials in Xeoma’s search boxes, the program can enable ONVIF for you so that the camera is successfully added.
  • Multi-server mode: improved usability of Pages in the multi-server mode. Now Xeoma remembers what Page has been the last to close, and re-opens it at the next launch.

  • New edition: for a limited time licenses for a new mode – Xeoma Starter – are available for purchase! Xeoma Starter is a hybrid of the Free edition and Xeoma Lite taking the best of the two: affordability, remote access, unlimited view, no watermarks or adds or donation requests, etc. Works on virtual machines. The edition will be the perfect choice for small CCTV systems, either for home or commercial video surveillance scenarios – for example, in food trucks and coffee vans, in flower shops or embedded into ATMs. Spend less – get more with Xeoma Starter. Details here
  • Text Recognition: added new Additional module “Text Recognition”. It can recognize digits and words in the camera’s sight, save information to reports, and react upon detecting a pre-set number of text. Perfect for scanning surroundings for advertisement signs or for recognition of license plates from unsupported countries. This module is purchased separately and activated over Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro modes. Available for testing in the trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Modbus Controllers: added new Additional module “Modbus Controllers”. It can receive commands from controllers that work through the Modbus protocol, and trigger various pre-set reactions in Xeoma. This is a very popular type of controllers used in automation systems, smart homes, traffic lights equipment, etc. This module is purchased separately and activated over Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro modes. Available for testing in the trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Social Distance: a new feature called “Social Distance” has been added to the “Crowd Detector” Additional module. Thanks to this option, the module can automatically track whether a given social distance is observed between people in camera sight. Setting up this feature is simple: the allowed distance is set by a line in the module itself. This feature will be useful in any public places to automatically track compliance with the recommendations stopping the spread of the coronavirus epidemic. This module is purchased separately and activated over Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro modes. Available for testing in the trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Improved ANPR (Additional feature): more countries have been added in the ANPR module into the option to recognize license plates with our own Additional tool. The previously available CIS countries are now complemented with the USA and Canada. Recognition for Chinese license plates has been added too but it works only under Intel 64 processors.
  • Additional module: improved algorithms for the “Face Detector (Emotions)” module. The accuracy of determining emotions (surprise, happiness, anger, disgust, fear, or neutrality) is now significantly higher.
  • Added new module “Mobile Notifications” that allows to receive notifications in mobile devices running iOS (iPhone, iPad) or Android. The advantage of the new module is that it doesn’t require the app to be running in your Android/iOS device to be able to notify you of the alerts (unlike the simpler module for mobile notifications “Client Window Pop-Up” that requires the app to be always running to push alerts). With the new module you will see alerts from selected servers as iPhone’s, iPad’s standard notifications – on the lock screen, in the Banners area, or in the Notification Center.
    For Android this module will now be used instead of the now-discontinued “Client Window Pop-Up” module. Mobile notifications in Android can appear in their usual form: as an icon in status bar, as a more explicit notification in the notification drawer, as a floating window over other apps (heads-up notification) in unlocked phone (ringtones and vibration for Android version 7.1 and lower), as notifications on the secure lock screen, or as a colored “notification badge” (a “notification dot”) on the app launcher icon.
    The module is available in Xeoma Standard and Xeoma Pro editions.

Official version 19.11.26 (December 9, 2019):
  • Additional module: added new module “Sports Tracking”. This module is used for recognition and automated PTZ tracking of a ball in various sport games. The module needs additional resources to work that will be downloaded automatically. This module is purchased separately and activated on top of Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in the trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Additional module: added new module “Gender Recognition“. This module is based on Artificial Intelligence and enables automatic recognition of a person’s gender, and reaction to either male, female, or both genders. Ideal for retail stores where promo ads or notifications can be adjusted based on a visitor’s gender for higher sales rates. You can select to which gender the system will react, and set the desired accuracy level to get rid of episodes where the system is less sure of recognition quality. The module needs additional resources to work that will be downloaded automatically. This module is purchased separately and activated on top of Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in the trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Additional module: added new module “Color Recognition”. This module is triggered when it detects the selected color in the specified area in real time. Choose a color for detection from the suggested basic ones or input a color in the RGB or HSV color scheme. Use the Sensitivity threshold slider to allow detection of undertones of a selected range. Paint the area where color should be monitored in red with a brush. Areas not marked in red will be ignored when searching for colors. Select the “Analyze only the changing areas” to ignore static objects in camera image (the module will look for moving objects only then). You will need a “Motion Detector” module in the chain before module if you want to use this feature. The module is designed for independent work to intercept an object by a color, or to work in conjunction with other modules like License Plate Recognizer, for example, detecting violations of traffic rules in combination with a traffic light (detection of drivers ignoring the red signal). This module is purchased separately and activated on top of Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in the trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Additional module: added new module “Crowd detector”. This module is based on Artificial Intelligence networks and can count people’s heads and detect if the number is bigger or smaller than needed (detect people crowding), and cause a pre-set reaction. It can also be used for passengers count in a public transportation enclosure like subway carriage, bus, tram, train, etc. You can select how many people should be there in the camera’s field of view to trigger the module. The module needs additional resources to work that will be downloaded automatically. This module is purchased separately and activated on top of Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in the trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Additional license: new countries with improved accuracy of license plate identification have been added for the “ANPR” module. These countries are: Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Russia and Kazakhstan. For the module to work, additional components need to be downloaded (done automatically). License for this newly added functionality is purchased separately and activated on top of Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in the trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • The previously added additional module “Object Recognition” does not need the “Object Detector” module to work any more; the module works independently now.
  • New types of objects added to the additional module “Object recognition”. Now the module can recognize boats, buses, sport balls, trains, trucks.
  • Additional module “Object Recognition” now offers possibility to select recognition interval, which allows to reduce the load on weak processors, while losing an insignificant part of possible episodes with this object type in the frame.
  • Additional module “Object Recognition” now offers the possibility to select the desired recognition accuracy level for each type of object separately. Now you can flexibly set what percentage of recognition accuracy suits you for type of object. For example, when you need more accuracy for recognition of cars of various form-factors, and lower accuracy is enough for the lower-priority task of recognizing people.
  • Additional module “QR Code Recognition” now can recognize bar codes of all known formats (code-128, code-39, code-93, EAN-13, EAN-8, ITF, PDF-417, RSS expanded and others), in addition to QR codes.
  • Face Recognition“: new option “Auto-learning by found faces” added for recognition using the artificial intelligence option. This functionality allows you to automatically train the program to include detected people in a particular group by frequency of detection (for example, employees, loyal visitors, new guests, etc.).
  • Additional module “Move to PTZ preset” now has the possibility to setup the tour (patrol) mode for ONVIF cameras that support touring, directly from the module’s interface.
  • Additional module “Move to PTZ preset” now offers the possibility to select the module to which the signal is transmitted when the selected preset is triggered is added. Thus, in one module “Move to PTZ preset”, you can configure various presets and determine to which of the following modules the signal from each will be transmitted.
  • PRO: added detection of speed limit violation. The combination of the new PRO modules “ANPR Speed Sender” and “ANPR Speed ​​Receiver” calculates the time that a vehicle takes to travel the distance between two virtual points, and if it’s lower than a set time, the module is triggered. More details
  • PRO: the “ANPR” module now offers visualization of the license plate location on preview. With this feature it will be more convenient to configure the module to work together with other modules – for example, with the “Cross-Line Detector” or “PTZ Tracking”.
  • PRO: the “ANPR Sending to FTP” module now offers the ability to choose what pictures to send (either a frame with a machine, or a frame with a license plate, or both), whether to send this data in archive or as separate files, and also to select the sending/saving interval.
  • PRO: Added support for USB joysticks for PTZ control (Windows only).
  • Added support for working with GlobalSat GPS modules (in modules “Marking” and “ANPR Speed Sender”).
  • Universal camera: added the ability to select a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) profile. This functionality is needed for operation of several PTZ cameras connected via NVR.
  • Universal camera: added the ability to configure ONVIF camera streams directly from the Xeoma interface. Now you can change the resolution, stream type, frames-per-second rate, brightness, contrast, sharpness, and other parameters of the streams that the ONVIF camera allows to change through the ONVIF protocols, right from the “Universal Camera” dialog. All settings are available for the ONVIF cameras automatically.
  • Universal camera: added the ability to limit FPS (frames per second rate) of a USB camera’s video stream (previously the FPS option could only be selected in conjunction with resolution).
  • Added the ability to import/export customized tabs for transferring them to other clients.
  • Added the ability to synchronize the ONVIF cameras time with the server’s time. With this option, your ONVIF cameras connected to Xeoma will be automatically reconfigured to the server’s system time.
  • The “Display only active cameras” option now has the ability to select the time the cameras are displayed for (5, 10, 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5 minutes).
  • Users Dialog: added option to allow or prohibit users listening to sound from cameras.
  • Users Dialog: added option to allow or prohibit users viewing interactive maps eMap.
  • The “Active licenses” information (Main menu – Information – Active Licenses) now has the ability to remove previously activated licenses so that you could delete mistakenly activated licenses and transfer them to other equipment. This is especially important for virtual machines.
  • Added the option for simultaneous export of archives that are viewed in the multi-archive viewing mode.
  • Added new “programdir [DirPath]” program startup key. Running Xeoma with this key will allow you to change the storage location of the program files without installation.
  • Motion Detector: added the “Ignore shadows” option. This functionality allows you to reduce false positives by shadows of various objects.
  • Improvements:
    -“Universal camera”: added automatic selection of the “Decoding of key frames” option which allows you to determine the number of key frames in the stream and only reduces them to decode the processor of the server.
    -Added new “-archivecache [DirPath]” console parameter. This parameter allows the system to use a folder for temporary storing of archive recordings files until they are fully recorded. Using this parameter allows to significantly reduce disk fragmentation and therefore the load on it. Useful for a large number of cameras.
    -Optimization of work with massive archive recordings.
    -Optimization of work with a client with a large number of cameras on a weak computer. To maintain performance, the frames-per-second rate is lowered in the Main Window (Multi-Camera View).
    -Faster display of cameras at the first launch or when switching from tab to tab with a large number of cameras

 

22 April 2019: New version Xeoma 19.4.22:
  • Additional module “Emotion Recognition” is now available for purchase and use in commercial modes.
  • Additional module “Object Recognizer” is now available for purchase and use in commercial modes.
  • Additional module: Added new module “FaceID”. This module recognizes human faces in camera image and compares them to faces from database (a remote LDAP database or a database stored on the same machine). This module only works if connected after the QR Code Recognition or Smart Card Reader modules. QR Code Reader or Smart Card Reader get information about person’s ID and send this meta data to FaceID that searches the database for the person’s face with this information. It can be used in complex access control systems in restricted entry enterprises, in university campuses, in private residences, wherever greater level of security and identity verification of a pass holder is required. This module is purchased separately and activated over the Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in a trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, after that reconfiguration is required.
  • Additional module: Added new module “QR Code recognition”. The QR Code Recognition module is a filter module that scans the camera picture for QR code and when finds one, sends the video signal further along the scheme. This module is usually used in chain before the FaceID module which can compare face in camera view with a face of the person identified by that QR code. The module also works with the “Application Runner” module where it can send information about the QR code using the %TEXT% macro. It can be used in complex access control systems in restricted entry enterprises, in university campuses, in private residences, wherever greater level of security and identity verification of a pass holder is required. This module is purchased separately and activated over the Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in a trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, after that reconfiguration is required.
  • Additional module: Added new module “SmartHome – RIF+”. This module works with RIF+ automation devices. Various sensors can be connected to the device, and the module can receive their alarms. This module is purchased separately and activated over the Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in a trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, after that reconfiguration is required.
  • Additional module: Added new module “Smart-card reader”. The module receives information about the card holder from Omnikey access card readers and passes it further along the chain to the FaceID module to compare the photo from the database with the face of the person in front of the camera. It can be used in complex access control systems in restricted entry enterprises, in university campuses, in private residences, wherever greater level of security and identity verification of a pass holder is required. The module also works with the “Application Runner” module where it can send information about the access card using the %TEXT% macro. This module is purchased separately and activated over the Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in a trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Additional module: Added new module “Camera-Embedded Detector”. This module can use the built-in detectors and sensors of IP cameras that support the ONVIF protocol, as well as send commands to the camera. With this module in use, you can configure analytics rules in your camera, and stop using Xeoma detectors thus shifting some of the server load to the camera side. This module is purchased separately and activated over the Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in a trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Additional module: Added new module “Moving to PTZ preset“. When this module received alarms from previous modules in the chain, it can move a selected camera to a pre-defined position. The camera must support PTZ controls though ONVIF protocol. This module is purchased separately and activated over the Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in a trial version of Xeoma for 1 hour, then reconfiguration is required.
  • Added the ability to search for a person through archive recordings by uploading a photo. The search can be performed in archive recordings of one camera or several at once. To start the search, go to the built-in Xeoma archive viewer’s menu, select the Search by photo option, and upload the photo for search from your device. The function is especially in demand in the “Safe City” systems, in the search for missing or wanted people, as well as in commercial areas when investigating incidents. This feature is purchased separately and activated over the Xeoma Standard or Xeoma Pro licenses. Available for testing in the trial version of Xeoma: the search will yield only one latest incident where this person (face) was detected.
  • Added search through archive recordings by object types for the previously released Additional module “Object Recognition”. Find this option in the Xeoma Archive Viewer menu. If object visualization is enabled, the recognized objects will also be visualized.
  • PRO: Added the long-awaited synchronization of archives with the SD card of an IP camera that supports the ONVIF protocol. If the connection with such a camera is interrupted for a while, the recording of events will continue to the camera’s memory card, and after the connection is restored, this missing segment will be downloaded from the camera’s video storage to the Xeoma archive. It works only with ONVIF cameras. Configure this feature in the “Preview and Archive” module settings.
  • PRO: Added failover (server backup) for the Xeoma Pro Your Cloud mode. Before this improvement you could do that with system tools. Now there’s the built-in Xeoma feature for such “hot” and “cold” servers. See more about Failover here.
  • PRO: Added LDAP support for devices under ARM architecture. Now all the advantages of active directories can be used on ARM devices like Raspberry, too.
  • PRO: License Plate Recognition: added the ability to set the number of frames the iANPR utility has to process. If it is not possible to limit the maximum speed of the traffic flow, this new setting, if used properly, can help avoid blurred frames, and thus aid in higher successful number recognition rate.
  • PRO: Improved search for license plates: now you can run the search through archive recordings for a license number directly from the ANPR log of recognized license plates.
  • PRO: Xeoma Pro Your Cloud: added the option to limit number of user-created interactive E-Maps.
  • Added the ability to automatically place active cameras (cameras with triggered detectors) in a separate tab. Try this option in the menu “Layouts” -> “Manage layouts” -> “Larger grid mode” -> “Show only active cameras”. This innovation will allow you to use one of the monitors for displaying streams from cameras where alarm events occurred. The camera disappears from this tab in 10 seconds after the alarm event is finished.
  • Added long-awaited export of the archive in the timelapse form. Now you can specify the desired speed (frame rate) of the resulting piece before the export starts. This faster playback timelapse effect will help you quickly evaluate what happened outside the Xeoma Archive Viewer. If viewed in the Xeoma’s Archive Viewer, you can use the flexible playback speed to achieve the timelapse effect. This effect is widely popular for visualizing long processes: for monitoring of building erection, or in the scientific fields for watching over plant growth, chemical reactions, etc.
  • Added digital zoom for moving objects. Now, even if your camera does not have the PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) functions, you can use the ability to automatically track objects or people in the field of view of the camera. Find this option in Main menu -> “Zoom” -> “Automatic objects tracking”. If there are several objects in the frame, the automatic tracking still works flawlessly and monitors the largest object.
  • Added the ability to display a high resolution stream when viewing all cameras – including on mobile devices. Turn this smart option on in “Layouts” -> “Client decoding settings” -> “Video decoding on the client side for live preview”) and select the settings that suit you and your device best with the slider below.
  • Multi-server mode: added the ability to use digital zoom. Now you can zoom in on the parts of a camera image in real-time and in the archive, even if you are connected to several servers at once.
  • Added the ability to download CSV reports from the server via client connection. Now you can get reports from smart modules wherever you are, even if you are connected to the server remotely. Perfect for verticals where mobility and fast assessing of work results is important; for those who want to have access to information anytime, anywhere.
  • Problem Detector: Added new camera defocus option. Now the program can automatically notify you when camera is out of focus suddenly. This new feature is a great addition for stand-alone systems that work for months without human supervision.
  • Added support for cameras that use the PSIA protocol, an ONVIF equivalent, which ensures successful synchronization of devices from different manufacturers within a unified system.
  • Added export of still pictures in PNG and BMP formats (in addition to previously available JPEG). Now you can export a snapshot of the archive recording in these common formats right from the archive viewer
  • Added the ability to assign access rights to groups of cameras. Ideal for systems with hundreds of cameras. Now you do not need to manually set the access rights to each camera separately. You can divide cameras into groups on any basis (for example, by their geo location) and assign rights to new and old operators to this or that set of cameras. Look for this option in the Main Menu -> Remote Access -> Users.
  • Added the ability to copy layouts and tabs from one client to another. Now you can share your tabs and camera order configuration with other users of your video surveillance system. Save it to a file and upload it for any other account through the Layouts menu.
  • Added the ability to prohibit users to change camera order, leaving the possibility to set camera order only to the administrator. Search for this feature in Main Menu -> Remote Access -> Users.
  • Increased efficiency of sending JPEG images with the %JPEG% ({JPEG}) macro due to getting rid of unnecessary coding.
  • Added new archive playback speeds. Now you can view your archives 60 and even 900 times faster. Suitable for systems with a lot of records to watch really quickly.
  • Added support for two options of overwriting the archive: by calendar days and by actual content. In the first case, the old recordings will be overwritten by new ones, for example, after 7 days have passed since the recording date, even if less recordings were made actually (for example, if motion detection was used). In the second case, the actual filling of the archive will be considered: the records will be overwritten, for example, when there are 7 days-worth of actual records stored.
  • Added the ability to request test licenses of the program directly from its interface.
  • Free rebranding: Added the ability to fill in the list of servers for clients to connect to with the <ServersFileName> parameter. Use this option to provide operators with a customized version of Xeoma with a list of servers to connect to already filled-in.
  • Added the ability to edit created PTZ tours. Learn more about PTZ presets and guard/patrol tours here.
  • Also, these issues were fixed:
    Fixed possible crash when using webrtc in Xeoma Pro Your Cloud.
    Fixed problem with recording archives in case of problems with the database.
    Fixed possible failure of the client part when CUDA hardware acceleration is engaged.

In the first case, the old recordings will be overwritten by new ones, for example, after 7 days have passed since the recording date, even if less recordings were made actually (for example, if motion detection was used). In the second case, the actual filling of the archive will be considered: the records will be overwritten, for example, when there are 7 days-worth of actual records stored.
  • Added the ability to request test licenses of the program directly from its interface.
  • Free rebranding: Added the ability to fill in the list of servers for clients to connect to with the <ServersFileName> parameter. Use this option to provide operators with a customized version of Xeoma with a list of servers to connect to already filled-in.

20 November 2018: New version Xeoma 18.11.21:
  • Added a new “Object Recognizer” module. The module can automatically classify objects in the camera field of view (person, car, animal, bird, motorcycle, etc.) and respond – or ignore – to selected types of objects. “Object Recognizer” is ideal in environments where there is movement expected in the field of view, and you need the system to respond (or not respond) only to a certain type of object. The module is available for testing only in the trial version of the program.
  • Added a new “Face Detector (Emotions)” module. The module can automatically recognize human emotions (happiness, fear, neutrality, sadness, etc.) in faces appearing in the camera frame, and display them on the screen, save to a spreadsheet report or send to a third-party program for processing. It can also be used as an alternative to the current Face Detector for detection of faces (but not recognition), or in conjunction with it, for example, to determine the emotions only of known or unknown persons. The module is available for testing only in the trial version of the program.
  • Xeoma Pro: ANPR. Added the ability to run a search for numbers directly from the log of found license plates.
  • Xeoma Pro: Added the ability to record multiple audio tracks from several microphones for the same video stream (available for recordings in in the .xem format);
  • Xeoma Pro: Added the ability to export video with sound recording from several microphones (multi-channel sound) in the exported file.
  • Xeoma Pro: Added the ability to edit module settings using the JSON API. Now you can change settings of Xeoma modules and manage them from automation systems. Read more
  • Xeoma Pro: Added presets and automatic patrol for PTZ cameras with support for ONVIF. Now you have the opportunity to set up certain positions (“presets”) for ONVIF-compliant PTZ cameras, and establish a route of a “guard tour”. This way the camera will rotate automatically along the configured “tour”. Watch the video, read the article.
  • Android: a new client-only app is released. It doesn’t require permissions as the server+client version does. Now you have the choice to download either only a client Xeoma Android app to connect to your remote Xeoma server, or a full (server and client) app in one. Available for download on our site or from Google Play.
  • Optimized hardware acceleration and increased decoding speed on video cards using CUDA, including support for decoding h265-formats.
  • Improved rewriting archives for the option “Always leave free space” in the “Preview and Archive” module. Implemented an even removal of all archives by days.
  • Improved operation of the “Object Detection” module in conjunction with the “Cross-Line Detector” module. Now people walking near each other are detected separately correctly.
  • Optimized buffering option: the option will be turned off by default for new installations. If you’re updating from an older version where buffering has been enabled, it will stay enabled. Buffering should be enabled when smoother realtime viewing is required. The option can be selected in the “Layouts” menu (setting for client/server) or in the “Universal Camera” module settings (for separate cameras). A higher RAM load and image delay – as compared to image in camera admin page – are to be expected when the option is engaged.
  • ANPR: Added support for iANPR version 1.793 in ARM versions. Better recognition accuracy and new features for recognition of CIS license plate numbers.
