Orchid Recorder

Bug fix for Digital Watch encoders and APT repository origin.

Released on 2024-08-23

  • Orchid Recorder now allows administrators to constrain archive retention for cameras.

  • Orchid Recorder now supports Smart Search with camera-side motion detection for recent Axis, Hanwha, Bosch, i-PRO, and other cameras that emit motion region information.
  • Orchid Recorder now allows administrators to disable cameras to stop the archiving process and free a camera license. Disabled cameras are still displayed throughout the system, allowing existing archives to be viewed.
  • Orchid Recorder now supports manual updates via the package management systems on RHEL and CentOS installations, for select license types.
  • Fix issue where Hanwha cameras configured for ONVIF events would display an incorrect configuration in the Stream Settings dialog.
  • Fix issue where the auxiliary SQLite database file could have duplicate backups created on package upgrade.
  • Fix issue where stale configuration information could be displayed after updating camera settings.
  • Fix issue in the Thumbnail Search date picker where very old dates could result in an indeterminate state.
  • Minor improvements to Thumbnail Search layout and usability.
  • Fix issue with inaccurate Thumbnail Search preview images.
  • Fix issue where frame rate configuration was disabled for JPEG streams when Continuous recording with motion adaptive frame rate was enabled.

    • PUT /server/properties
  • Stream status now includes metadataStatistics reflecting the last time ONVIF metadata events, ONVIF analytics, and ONVIF analytics motion regions were received:
    • GET /streams/{streamId}/status
  • Health status responses now have all information contained in a top-level stats object (this is a breaking change to a Beta endpoint):
    • GET /health
  • Health status responses now include memory use percent, and may now be filtered by CPU and memory use thresholds via query params:
    • GET /health
  • A new endpoint provides the history of server startups and down times:
    • GET /health/restart
  • Stream recordingConfiguration settings are now rejected if invalid:
    • PUT /cameras/{cameraId}/streams/{streamId}
    • PATCH /cameras/{cameraId}/streams/{streamId}
  • On upgrade, cameras that are configured for retention that is less than the default retention of the camera will be changed to Automatic retention configuration in order to prevent unintentional video deletion.
  • After upgrading, cameras that support talk down will need to be Recovered in order to access the feature.
  • The capture.audio property now supports an additional strict setting which prevents audio from being recorded from any ONVIF devices with audio disabled. This addresses issues with some cameras providing audio even though it has been disabled.
