Introduction


1. Introduction FLIR is committed to serving customers by responding to comments and feedback while making

major product enhancements. This United VMS 7.0 update, available for Latitude, Horizon and

Meridian, includes new features, edge device support, bug fixes and improvements based on this

user feedback.

2. Product Features

Support for 10K Cameras per Latitude Directory

We now offer support for large sites up to 10K cameras on a single Directory. This enhances

further our ability to support large sites as well as expandability of current sites.

Note: Support for 10K camera system on a single directory is dependent on server specifications.

For more information, please contact your local sales representative.

Secured Connection for EZ Client

EZ Client, the feature rich, modern, web client interface now has the ability to secure it with TLS

protocol. This feature further drives the EZ Client to being a functional and secure client

application for everyday use. Transport Layer Security is available on communications between

the Web Server and any connected Web Clients.

Configuring TLS Connection

The configuration of TLS connection to EZ Client is done right from Admin Center. Clear

instructions are available in the Help file.

Figure 1: Load TLS Certificate

Note: The user is responsible for acquiring a suitable Certificate (United VMS does not

create/supply certificates).

Export MP4 from Control Center and EZ Client

In addition to already being able to export AVI and DVT proprietary video formats, Control Center

and EZ Client are now able to export H264 video in MP4 format. This will allow for fast exports and

enable using standard players.

Limitations:

1. Large spikes and drops in framerate will cause video playback to be unstable.

2. Windows Media Player for Windows 7 has a limitation that only supports videos up to

1080p.

Product Features


3. There is no OSD on the exported file. Therefore, there is no Analytics on the video and no

time/date/camera name.

4. Files with privacy masks cannot be exported to MP4 (due to the lack of OSD.)

5. EZ Client only allows max 2.5 hours of exported video with MP4

Control Center Digital/Optical PTZ Toggle Button

The look and feel of the toggle button for Digital / Optical in the PTZ pane has been updated.

Figure 3: PTZ toggle button

This Latitude Update for supports PTZ tracking after binding a TRK-101-P PTZ Tracker (with

firmware version 2.1.3.116) with a special hardware configuration of Quasar CP-4221-301 PTZ

camera. The camera is available from FLIR Operations by special order and is shipped with the

following software and firmware versions pre-loaded:

Edge Device Enhancements

3. Edge Device Enhancements

Support for new FLIR Quasar Hemispheric Camera

The new FLIR Quasar Gen II CM-6206-H1-I hemispheric camera is supported in United VMS using

the Quasar II plug-in in Admin Center and Horizon/Meridian Admin

United VMS provides software dewarping for the Quasar hemispheric camera, at the video

resolution of 6MP.

Figure 4: Hemispheric camera setup

Cell Based Motion Detection Support for Quasar Gen II

Cell based motion detection allows for more detailed definition of motion zones. Quasar Gen II

will now support cell based motion detection, allowing for more precise selection of zone areas

for better accuracy in motion results. Users can easily configure motion detection directly from

Admin Center, without the need to access the camera web page.

Note: This feature requires a supporting firmware of fs20160805NSZ or later.

Configure Single Multicast IP with Multiple Streams on Quasar Gen II

Quasar Gen II now allows the user to set the same Multicast address to multiple steams, utilizing

different ports for each stream. By default, each stream will be configured using a different

Multicast IP address, utilizing the default. When multiple streams are set to the same Multicast IP

address, there will not be a conflict since each stream will utilize a different port.

Edge Device Enhancements


Figure 5: Single Multicast IP for multiple streams

Support for 1080p Resolution with Quasar Quad HD Camera
