Uses MIP SDK 2023 R2. * Resolved an issue where profile creation was failing due to changes in ConfigAPI. Profile creation now works as expected with the updated API. * Smart Client now includes a new feature that lets users fine-tune PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) controls for each camera. These settings are automatically saved per camera, providing a convenient and personalized user experience. *** ## 9.0.1 Oct 2024 * A sanity test was performed on XProtect Corporate 2024 R1. Uses MIP SDK 2022 R1. Nov 2023 * Tested with XProtect Corporate 2023 R1. Uses MIP SDK 2022 R1. * SureStream 9.0.1 provides significant performance improvements in the number of live streams displayed in parallel layouts. * Improvements to the ping cameras in the background to prevent display freezing when cameras are down. * Support for checksums in the downloader to check for corruption during downloads. *** ## 8.0.0 Feb 2023 * SureStream 8.0 introduces a wizard-based setup, making the configuration more user-friendly. * It supports camera mirroring and rotation. * Licensing is modified to consume one device license per MAC address, rather than one per stream. * The cameras added to Milestone parent and child sites can be fetched directly from the parent site without multiple logins. *** ## 7.0.0.6 Jan 2022 * Camera Rotation and Mirroring features have been implemented. * Set the PTZ Mirroring and PTZ Rotation options provided. * The user can adjust the orientation based on the stream received from the camera. *** ## 7.0.0.4 May 2021 * Sort Available cameras by functional status. * Date sort of camera list. * Store a camera list to speed up the setup process. * Installer changes. * FIPS-compliant encryption of stored data. * Bug Fix: Solved bug in RTSP port checking while multicast streaming. *** ## 7.0.0.3 Jan 2021 * The license-expiry issue caused by one camera entering the grace period has been resolved. * HTTP port checking in the management client. * The HTTP port legend was added to the available camera list. * Dynamic loading of the camera list while fetching/removing. * Bug Fix: Solved bug in enabling the NTP button if the NTP server address is wrong. *** ## 7.0.0 July 2020 * Camera Search in the Smart Client. * Directional mouse pointer for PTZ to indicate the direction of camera movement when clicked. *** ## 6.0.4 June 2020 * Support for setting the camera time zone, along with UTC. Support only UTC for cameras that do not support all Windows time zones. * HTTP tunnel support for Unicast streaming so that only the HTTP port needs to be open for the stream to be received. * PTZ control with a mouse click. * Updates to U/M modes to make it more user-friendly. * The installer changed to track the timing of various install steps. *** ## 6.0.3 April 2020 * Test validation with XProtect Corporate 2020 R1. * Automatic NTP server time mismatch detection and date/time setting on all cameras on which SureStream Multicast is supported. *** ## 6.0.0 January 2020 * Test validation with XProtect Corporate 2019 R3. * GPU rendering enhances video quality. * Improved setup UI. * Federated Architecture Support. Parent site smart clients can receive direct unicast/multicast video from child site cameras. * High-resolution video latency improvement through automatic switching to keyframe-only decode. * Specific s/w modules re-released under LGPL v3. *** ## 5.0.2 April 2019 * Test validation with XProtect Professional+ 2019 R1. * Support for timing formats of countdown timers across different geographies. * Fixed plugin crash that occurred if stream play was initiated in the middle of a camera reboot sequence. *** ## 5.0.1 February 2019 * Support for direct camera-to-client unicast streaming is provided for networks that do not support multicast. * All Onvif cameras (including ones that don't support onvif multicast) are displayed in green colour in the Management client. * A toggle switch in the SureStream Smart Client toolbar switches the stream between Unicast and Multicast for cameras that support both Unicast and Multicast ONVIF streams. *** ## 4.0.3 September 2018 * A log of Software modifications from 3.0 to 4.0.3 * Auto-selection of profiles based on Resolution, FPS, and Codec matching with XProtect. * Single port number option. Removal of the port number range. * Overlay to see the streaming parameters in SureStream. * The delay in viewing the stream when logging in to SC or switching tabs has been resolved. We do not cycle through available profiles as earlier. * Channel-based licensing in Milestone. * FFMPEG licensing terms compliance. * Cameras with missing/deleted profiles are listed in orange in the Management Client. * Single message for IP range/port issues. * Check for a missing PTZ profile for a PT camera during Add/Add All. Add if missing. * Changed handling of decoder output queue that caused latency in HikVision cameras. * The message box needs to stay on when the user enters an incorrect multicast IP/port. *** ## 3.0 May 2018 * PTZ support for Axis PTZ (no presets, except Home). * Ability to view and switch the streaming profile from the SureStream Smart Client window. * Robustness: Handles Network disconnection, Multicast IP changes, Onvif profile changes, and camera reboot events - all during the active live stream. * Multiple smart clients are receiving the same multicast stream. * A multicast setup with two routers bridged was tested. * Multiple video resolutions/frame rates are tested. * Auto-selection of profiles based on Resolution, FPS, and Codec matching, as in Milestone. * By default, there is only a single port number option. * Overlay the option to see the streaming parameters in SureStream. * The crash observed on the Resolution change in the Canon camera has been resolved. * The delay in viewing the stream when logging in to SC or switching tabs has been resolved. * Channel-based licensing in Milestone. * FFMPEG licensing terms are added in About. * Profile-related issues in-camera are listed as Orange.
