ViconNet 6.6 Status
• ViconNet 6.6SP3 is released for beta
• Built on top of SP2 and ties up any lose end in it
– Main objective is STABILITY
ViconNet 6.7 Release
• Q1 - 2014 release
– Multi-site support for JUMP and ZONE (central Nucleus)
– Recording Manager
– Thumbnail Search for all cameras
– Microsoft Active directory support
– Video masking in the VMS (and admin un-masking)
– Search and filter all device lists
– Advanced 3rd party setup
– Updated video export
– Updated VMDC Display Engine
– Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 support
– Soon after: Quick setup wizard
Multiple JUMP / ZONE sites
• Currently JUMP and ZONE are stand-alone
• There is no way to connect multiple sites to a central
Nucleus
• Version 6.7 will allow connecting JUMP and ZONE to a
different Nucleus
• JUMP and ZONE will still be limited to record only a
certain number of cameras (according to their license)
• When connecting JUMP or Zone to a central Nucleus, the
3rd party licenses will be taken from that Nucleus
Multiple Stand-Alone Sites
Workstation needs to connect
to each of the JUMP / ZONE
sites separately and does not
see them on the same device
list
JUMP / ZONE
JUMP / ZONE
JUMP / ZONE
Multi-site
Workstation can connect to all of the
JUMP / ZONE sites at the same time
and see’s them on the same device
list.
Licenses are now controlled
by mutual Nucleus.

Recording Manager
• Simple to use and define recording on NVRs
• Meant to replace the need to create recording
macros / schedules
• Macro will still be available for complex recording
• Allows 24/7 or motion based recording schemes

Thumbnail Search
•
•
•
•
•
Quick visual method to search through video
Thumbnails spread evenly across the time
User can narrow down or expand the search period
Single click on thumbnail launches playback
Video export available from interface
• Thumbnail search works on any connected camera
MS Active Directory Support
• Currently ViconNet has its own user group and
user list
• On systems running MS Active directory this
requires maintaining a redundant list
• Integrating with AD allows working with the same
user / password lists as the entire computer
network
• Login authentication is done with the AD server so
changes automatically apply to ViconNet
• ViconNet permission are still managed in the VMS
Video Masking in VMS
• Different from masking in the camera
• Mask is created centrally in the VMS (on the
Nucleus)
• Mask is projected in all ViconNet application
(except the mobile)
• Authorized user can “Un-Mask” a live or playback
image
• Un authorized user always see a masked image
Search and Filter Lists
• Added option to quickly locate a device by typing its name
above the device list
• Search results will highlight in the list and allow to move to
the next and previous ones
• This will work on all device “trees” in the system including
macro and group
• An option to show a filtered search results (instead of
highlighted) is currently being reviewed.
Advanced Camera Settings
• Added settings for I-Onyx and 3rd party cameras
to simplify setup process.
• Settings based on camera options
– Stream method: TCP / UDP / Multicast
– Image flip
– Alarm handling
• Changing camera name from ViconNet
Video Export Update
• Combined wizard for archive and clip exporting
• Video clip export to legacy –or- modern formats
(AVI and MKV)
• New and fast export to MKV clip
VMDC Display Update
• Updated display method to shift processing from
CPU to display card
• Better image quality in HD (no scaling)
• Expected to improve overall performance of
VMDC (more cameras per unit)
• Will be ported to ViconNet after 6.7
Quick Setup Wizard
• External tool communicating with the
ViconNet application
– Discover ONVIF cameras (currently not
ViconNet ones)
– Configure PCs to the Nucleus
– Assign to NVR and record
– Quick and simple to use
• Assumes a certain recording scheme
• Advanced users can still assign and
configure the system through other tools

Stand alone Zone NVR
Nucleus running on the NVR
Web / mobile server running on the NVR
Limitations:
LAN / WAN
 Being stand alone assumes local display
is being used
 Stand alone solution has limited hardware
resources and will only be able to handle
a limited number of web / mobile viewers
Design Tips:
 Same basic logic applies to system where
the Nucleus is running on non-dedicated
PC

Limitations:

 Dedicated Nucleus assumes no local
display is being used
 Based on hardware resources it will be
able to handle a certain number of web /

Design Tips:
 Make sure that you have enough
resources to handle the expected number
of concurrent web/mobile viewer

Dedicated Web / mobile servers added to
the system to increase web / mobile
support
 Web / mobile server may still be running
on the Nucleus as well as on the
web/mobile servers
Limitations:

LAN / WAN
 Nucleus limitation is the same as on the
dedicated Nucleus example
 Each added web/mobile server can
handle a certain numbers of web/mobile
viewers (all server work in parallel)
 Each user needs to know which
web/mobile server to use in order to avoid
a bottleneck
Design Tips:
Web and mobile viewers
 If you have a dedicated web/mobile
server, consider not using the one on the
Nucleus at all (reduce load on the
Nucleus)
 You can add more web/mobile server if
needed

web/mobile viewer via the same IP and
splits the load between the different
web/mobile servers
 Web / mobile server may still be running on
the Nucleus as well as on the web/mobile
servers
Limitations:
 Nucleus limitation is the same as on the
dedicated Nucleus example
 Each added web/mobile server has can

 If you have a dedicated web/mobile server,
consider not using the one on the Nucleus
at all (reduce load on the Nucleus)
 The load balance server is optional but
offers a transparent solution for the user
