v5.1 Beta - Available Today!

v5.1 Beta, the newest beta release for Powered by Nx product users, is available for download today! The v5.1 beta release is focused on creating a more efficient workflow for users, expanded device and analytics support, and more admin capabilities.

Cross-System Layouts (aka Cloud Layouts)

Operators with rights to multiple Systems can now combine cameras from Cloud-connected Systems into a single Layout.

How Cross-System Layouts Works:

Create a Layout by dragging cameras from your currently connected System onto the Viewing Grid.
In the Resource Panel, scroll down to the Other Systems. Compatible Systems (v5.1 and higher) will have nested cameras.
Drag a camera of your choice onto the Viewing Grid and save.

Watch the Youtube video embedded below to see the Cross-System Layouts feature demoed in the client:

Camera Replacement

A simple, straightforward way System Owners or Administrators can replace an IP camera with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Name, archive, general and advanced settings, recording settings, PTZ settings, event rules, analytics, and camera access rights will be transferred to a new camera.
Motion Detection settings and 2-way Audio will not be transferred.
The current archive from the old camera will still be accessible.
The camera must be on the same Server.
This action can be undone.

How to Replace a Camera:

In the Resource Panel right click on the camera you would like to replace and choose Replace Camera.
In the Camera Replacement dialog review what data will be transferred and choose Next.

Limitations:

Camera replacement is not supported for: Virtual cameras, Speakers, NVRs, IO modules, Multi-sensor cameras, Unauthorized cameras, or offline cameras that appear after reindexing the archive.
