Orchid Core VMS 21.9.0

Orchid Core VMS 21.9.0 was released on October 15, 2021.  This release includes improvements to speed up connection times when viewing live video from ONVIF cameras, as well as improvements to Orchid Core VMS’s export handling and reporting capabilities.

New Features

• Orchid Core VMS will now request a new keyframe from compatible ONVIF cameras whenever a user connects to a WebRTC or Low Bandwidth Mode live stream, often allowing video to start more quickly.
• When downloading multi-part exported video as a zip file or dewarp player package, the included video files now have meaningful file names that include camera name and date/time.
• Improve reporting on the “Retention Policy” page to provide more meaningful information, especially for cameras set to record only during motion.
• Orchid Core VMS’s quirks system for handling unusual behavior in certain cameras’ ONVIF implementations can now be updated by recovering the camera.
• Automatically remove empty video archive directories in the background.

Bug Fixes

• Fix issue where the Orchid Core VMS user interface can sometimes be half-installed, leaving the web interface either non-functional or displaying a previous Orchid Core VMS version.
• Fix issue where Orchid Core VMS could be configured with an invalid storage path on Windows systems. Orchid Core VMS will now enter a “degraded state” when this happens and prompt the user to take corrective action.
• Fix issue where trailing whitespace on certain values in the Orchid Core VMS properties file could prevent upgrade of user interface files.
• Fix issue where duplicate Audio Encoder types in a camera’s ONVIF configuration prevented Orchid Core VMS from saving audio recording settings correctly.

Notices

• Due to recent changes in Chrome, USB Joysticks can only be used when Orchid Core VMS is in HTTPS mode.

API Changes

• Add API support for Secondary Streams. These are streams received by Orchid Core VMS that can only record or proxy, and function to supplement the existing Primary Stream.
• Add API support for Default View Streams. These represent the stream the Orchid Core VMS UI shows by default when a camera is added to the stage.
• Secondary and Default View Streams are API-only features that will soon be accessible to users in a coming version of Orchid Core VMS.
• Update the following endpoints to include new defaultViewStreamId and secondaryStreams fields:
  • GET /cameras
  • GET /cameras/{cameraId}
  • PATCH /cameras/{cameraId}
• Update PATCH /cameras/{cameraId} to observe the new preservePrimaryRecordingStyle option under primaryStream.
• Update the following endpoints to observe expanded options for the “live” query parameter:
  • GET /streams
  • GET /streams/status
• Update GET /cameras/disk-usage to include new retentionSpanMilliseconds and streams fields.
