We are pleased to present the new version of Sagitech VMS 2.0, which many of you have been waiting for. We have made our system more reliable, stable, functional, and user-friendly. A significant part of the changes has been implemented based on your suggestions.
Major changes:
- A new Enterprise edition that allows multiple servers to be combined into a shared domain managed by a main server. This enables centralized access to all objects in the unified system through a single access point, both for administration and for viewing live/archive video, searching events, and more. The main server monitors the status of child servers and notifies users when communication with them is lost. For each camera, both a primary and a backup server can be assigned. The backup server takes over video acquisition, recording, and motion detection when the primary server becomes unavailable.
- A new client interface that is more modern, convenient, and faster.
- A new modern web interface.
- Improved server-side performance at large sites with several hundred cameras.
Minor changes:
- Face recognition module: improved speed and accuracy, event filtering, and support for additional custom fields.
- License plate recognition module: improved speed and accuracy, the ability to export reports on schedules, enhanced pass management features, and the ability to export data from the “Vehicles on Site” report.
- Updated mobile clients.
- A new higher-performance video rendering system with DirectX support.
- A new “Alarm Log” mode combining real-time alarm handling and archive alarm search. Missed alarms are displayed over the control panel. Alarm log export is supported.
- The ability to create schedules—periodically recurring server tasks consisting of a set of programmable actions.
- The ability to use C# scripts when creating a scenario or schedule.
- A new “Automatic” video stretch mode that minimizes empty borders on the sides of the video without visually distorting the aspect ratio.
- Quick video grid configuration: the ability to drag a camera group or all cameras from a server onto the video grid in live view and archive mode, as well as choose a list of cameras for one-time addition to the video grid (menus “Monitoring → Select Cameras” or “Archive → Select Cameras”).
- Automatic timeline scaling depending on the number of displayed cameras.
- The ability to clear the current archive viewing profile.
- Updated reports for the visitor counting, queue detection, and POS monitoring modules.
- Support for importing and authorizing Active Directory users.
- Scenarios and schedules: the ability to attach a file when sending an email.
- Interactive maps: the ability to hide camera titles.
- Formatted time in scenarios: TimeFormatD1, TimeFormatT1.
