Nx Witness v5 is a full featured release focused on cyber security, enhanced usability of existing features, and new interactivity features.
Nx Witness v5 Overview
Key Features of V5
Advanced Object Search • Metadata Driven Archive Backup Options • Web Page Proxy via Servers • Two Factor Authentication (2FA) • Resource Grouping • Audio Mapping • Desktop Client Automatic Updates • Encrypted Archives • Server Location ID for Failover • Server Web Admin Interface Redesign • Video Preview Thumbnails • More Secured Connections
ADVANCED OBJECT SEARCH Operators can now use the new Advanced Object Search to search for objects identified by analytics and stored in video archives by attributes (e.g. object type, color, gender, age, clothing, etc) in a new pop-out window. View on Youtube | METADATA DRIVEN ARCHIVE BACKUP In addition to being able to do real-time, scheduled, or on- demand backups, archive backups can now be configured to allow backup of recorded video archives based on associated system metadata – including motion, bookmarks,or objects View on Youtube |
WEB PAGE PROXY VIA SERVER Local device or on-prem application web pages can be proxied via the Server application and viewed via a remote secured connection. This allows for easy, secure access to integrated security products / devices as well as management of underlying IT infrastructure and related services. View on Youtube | TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA) Cloud connected systems can now utilize 2 factor authentication. This is a system wide setting and forces all users with Cloud accounts to use an authentication app (Cloud supports Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Duo Mobile) to verify their identity before logging in to a System. View on Youtube |
RESOURCE GROUPING Operators can now group resources (cameras, streams, encoders , web pages) in Nx Desktop which can be used in roles and permissions, and for faster navigation of large systems. Note: Groups are limited to the Server level and will disappear if dragged. View on Youtube | AUDIO MAPPING Operators can use audio capabilities from different devices together. For example, an audio source from a camera or I/O module with a microphone can be used as an audio source for another camera. Another example – a 2 way audio button can be placed on a camera without a microphone and used with a different camera that has a speaker attached to it. View on Youtube |
DESKTOP CLIENT AUTO UPDATES Nx Desktop client is no longer tied to the Nx Server or Nx Cloud applications when updating to a later version. When enabled, Nx Desktop will download any available updates in the background and will prompt users to restart to receive the latest version. Auto-updates are optional and users can choose to disable them View on Youtube | ENCRYPTED ARCHIVES When enabled, recorded video archives will be encrypted and viewable only in the Desktop, Mobile, and Web clients. Works on any hard drive or storage medium. System owner creates the encryption key. View on Youtube |
SERVER LOCATION ID FOR FAILOVER Allows System Administrators to assign a Location ID to Servers in multi-Server WAN-based Systems. This allows operators to define a Server or pool of Servers that are physically located near the affected cameras as failover Servers to prevent failover to remote Servers which could result in frame dropping over weaker network connections. View on Youtube | SERVER WEB ADMIN INTERFACE REDESIGN The Server Web Admin interface has been redesigned to allow administrators to add and remove users, as well as view detailed information about Servers, Cameras, and Licenses. View on Youtube |
DESKTOP CLIENT JAVASCRIPT API A brand new Client Javascript API embedded in Web Pages allows developers to create browser-to-client interactions, allowing custom web apps to drive Desktop Client behaviors, including:
| MORE SECURE CONNECTIONS All VMS Server connections use SSL/TLS Certificate pinning to render man-in-the-middle attacks impossible. VMS Servers and Clients also use new session-based (bearer token) authentication by default. |
REVAMPED SERVER API
A new Server HTTP API has been introduced, designed in RESTful style instead of the RPC style of the old HTTP API.
- Features missing from the new API are still covered by the old API and will be added to the new API over time.
- The old API will be supported for several upcoming VMS releases but may become officially deprecated in a future version.
- The Server WebAdmin now includes documentation for the new API.
- /api/systemSettings is now available only for the system owner and administrators.
- Added GET and POST handler support to the Server for "/api/createEvent" requests.
- Subsections within analytics sections did not show up on the Plugins tab in System Administration. Fixed.
- The Server parameters “motionType” and “backupDaysOfTheWeek” were incorrectly represented in JSON. Fixed.
- Added an option to allow ec2/cameraThumbnail to retrieve the stream’s live image.
- Introduced the defaultRemovableDriveState VMS server configuration parameter to replace allowRemovableStorages
