camera.ui

After the update

• Update the Home Assistant plugin to 1.1.0. Until then no cameras from Home Assistant show up under Cameras → Discovered.

• Update the Reolink plugin to 1.3.8. Until then the camera moves in jerks while you hold the joystick.

Added

• Export from the Camview timeline. With one camera in the view or one tile expanded, the timeline has Export, as on the camera page.

• Cameras from Home Assistant. The cameras of your other Home Assistant integrations show up under Cameras → Discovered. The stream comes through Home Assistant and records like any other camera, and the camera brings its own motion, person, vehicle and animal sensors, battery, light and siren along. Two-way audio works where Home Assistant offers it. See Import from Home Assistant.

• Your cameras as an ONVIF device. Another NVR, an ONVIF client or the ONVIF integration of Home Assistant can add camera.ui as an ONVIF camera, each camera with its streams from high to low resolution. The answers follow the ONVIF specification, so clients that check them strictly accept it too. It stays off until you turn it on under Settings → Streaming, and single streams can be left out in a camera's Sources tab. Without host networking, publish port 2005 as well. See ONVIF export.

• Choose the sounds per camera. Settings → Detection lists the sounds that count for a camera, all selected at first. A sound you deselect starts no event, push or automation on that camera. Automations can change the selection with Camera control. See Audio detection.

• Apple TV: choose the cameras for the Top Shelf. Settings → Top Shelf picks the cameras whose events show there.

• Apple TV: more filters for events. Filter in the Events tab narrows the list to cameras or rooms, favorites, events or episodes, single sounds, and vehicle type and color.

Changed

• Camview has a control bar at the bottom. It replaces the button in the corner and holds the same controls. The microphone in its middle talks to all cameras right away, without a dialog. The arrow at its end folds the bar back into a button, in fullscreen a button at the top shows it.

• The recordings below a camera follow its timeline filter. A camera that only reports motion lists its motion events once its timeline shows motion. Buttons at the bottom right replace the bar above the list: one filters by text, day, confidence, label, the camera's sensors and sounds and by vehicle, the one above it turns on the zone filter.

• The camera page leaves more room for the recordings. The player takes up to half the height, a wide picture less.

• RTSP clients without a query get one video and one audio track. They got every track of the stream before. A query in the URL still picks the tracks.

• Settings pages replace the config editor. The new Streaming page holds RTSP, the ONVIF export, WebRTC with STUN and TURN and the other ports. System adds ports, address, local discovery and logging, Remote Access the reverse proxy, sign-in through a proxy and the tunnel protocol. Most changes apply without a restart, and the YAML files stay under Advanced on System and Streaming. See Streaming.

• Recordings show when a filter is active. A dot on the filter button marks it, also while the filter sidebar is closed, and Reset filters at the bottom of the sidebar clears them all. On the desktop the filter button replaces the arrow beside the title.

• The camera page on a phone in landscape shows the camera larger. The camera takes the width its picture needs at full height, and the timeline beside it gets the rest. On a narrow timeline, filter, export and delete sit behind a button with three dots, and the zoom buttons are hidden.

• **Number fields have the same butto

After the update

• Update the NVR plugin to 1.7.0. Until then a deleted person's name can stay on someone still in front of a camera, picking a sound in Recordings still shows every sound, Metrics → Storage has no delete button, and the timeline marks only the first and last time a sound or sensor went off in an event.

Added

• Delete a camera's recordings from Metrics → Storage. Once recording is off for a camera, its Mode shows off and the button at the end of its row deletes its recordings, and with Delete events too all its events, favorites included. The row shows the delete until it is done, also after a restart.

• The timeline shows when motion, a sound, a sensor or a line crossing set in during an event. Each one is a small dot where it began, also in the middle of a running event, and dots close together become one with a count. Hover a dot for what it was and when, click it to jump there. A click on a full event bar plays from where it began.

• The detection trace lists an event's triggers. Motion, sounds, sensors and line crossings, each with the times it went off.

• STUN and TURN servers in Settings → Remote Access. The new WebRTC card sets them without the config editor, and the apps use them too. A TURN server helps live view and two-way audio from outside when no direct path works, on mobile networks for example, and a share link can pass it on to its viewers. See WebRTC.

• Unknown faces show their marks. A face already filed under someone or only partly visible carries the exclamation mark in Faces, the tooltip names the reason. Groups and Ungrouped show how many of their faces are marked, so you see it before you assign. Ignored faces get the mark when they are only partly visible.

Changed

• AI search starts at a 40 % match score. Min. Match Score starts lower and resets with each visit, like the search itself.

• Logging starts in the Console. The record button at the bottom right starts and stops it, debug entries included. The two switches under Settings → Appearance are gone.

Fixed

• The sound filter in Recordings works. Picking gunshot, doorbell or another sound under Audio shows only those events, and new or running events no longer slip into a filtered list they don't match.

• Switching between servers keeps the right account. With a different username on each server, the app showed "User not exists" errors after the switch and recent events loaded late. This also happened after tapping a push from the other server or when returning from an instance.

• Instances stay apart from your servers. A push opens on its own server even with an instance active, and each server remembers its own active instance. The instance menu keeps the right name after a reload. An instance no longer touches the saved Face ID login of your server.

• Cameras with /, #, ? or % in their name work. Opening such a camera showed an error, its settings could not be saved and removing it said the camera does not exist. In Home Assistant this needs the camera.ui integration 0.5.3.

• The assistant's Usage counts every call. Missing were the call before an approval or before the assistant opened a page for you, answers that failed or were stopped, and the short call that picks out facts to remember. Gemini models that think were estimated too cheap.

• A deleted person's name goes away at once. Someone still in front of a camera when you deleted them kept the name until they left. Events that started meanwhile and automations on the face sensor still saw it.

• Dialogs fit the screen in the iPhone browser. In Safari the top or bottom of a dialog was cut off, with buttons out of reach, and the event dialog hid the bottom of its timeline. Suggestion lists, the names when you assign a face for example, opened with a gap below the field.

• Long menus stay on the screen. A menu with many entri

Added

• Event dialogs have the detections view. The switch sits next to the filter, on phones the dots under the timeline lead to it.

Changed

• Each camera keeps its own timeline filter. A change on one camera no longer reaches the others, and the camera's event dialogs use the same filter. Camview over several cameras has a separate one. Cameras start at the default filter.

Fixed

• Smaller fixes on phones. The event dialog no longer cuts off the bottom of the timeline with the filter button and the view dots.

Changed

• Less detector load on cameras with object zones. Movement outside every object zone, like traffic on the street in front of a driveway, no longer gets zoomed looks of its own.

• Camera cards show when a picture updates. A small spinner sits next to the picture's age while a new one is fetched or has just arrived.

Fixed

• Fewer phantom objects at the edge of a zoomed view. Detection looks at cut-outs of the moving areas, and something cut off at the edge of one could be taken for a vehicle or a person and open an event. A cut-off view no longer starts an object, the first whole view does. The event trace marks such a box as cut off.

• Leaving after standing still opens an event more reliably. A parked car that drove off or a person who had waited and walked away could go unnoticed when they paused or turned right after starting off.

• Smaller fixes in the interface. The bottom bar fades with the page when a camera opens or closes, a scrolled Home no longer jumps after closing a camera, the floating buttons no longer flash up when you return to a scrolled page, a camera card no longer keeps an old picture after you come back from another page, cameras set to When viewed get new pictures while their card stays open, the picture age stays right when the server's clock differs from your device, camera cards get a new picture right after a lost connection comes back.
