This release focuses on general bug fixes and has some minor features that will be built upon in beta 8. This release also starts to use the new functionality for adding IP cameras. Instead of having to lookup RTSP and MJPEG sub paths, the paths are now stored in a database and automatically filled when you select the manufacturer and model.
The web live-view has also been redesigned (again), which now makes it more mobile friendly. Instead of dragging the items from the left, you simply click on the area of the layout that you want the image to be in, and select the camera from the pop-up. This should resolve some problems with mobile devices, where before you had to ‘save’ a layout and then click on that layout from the mobile device.
The following features are added in this release:
- Feature #411: Save JPEG image from each event
- Feature #492: Add black box around time stamp
