v9.9.5 [Oct 22, 2019]
- Fixed a bug which prevented the Camera Basic Setting dialog to set the correct sensitivity for the chosen usage.
- Frame Annotation possibility with the new toolbar button.
- Configurable frame interval for the daily summary video.
- Removed the rudimentary scheduler in favour of a more flexible way to control ContaCam through the Windows Task Scheduler.
- Added example buttons for typical external commands.
- Web interface multiple selection deletion.
v9.0.9 [Sep 30, 2018]
- The web interface full screen live snapshot image can now be configured to either maintain the aspect ratio or to fully stretch.
- Do not adapt the frame time font size when the DPI changes, this because connecting through RDP can modify the DPI automatically.
- Possibility to display the system uptime in each frame.
- Updated internal web server to Apache 2.4.38 and PHP 5.6.40 with INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE patch discussed in PHP bug #77580 (Apache and PHP both with OpenSSL 1.0.2q).
v7.5.0 [Jul 20, 2017]
- For network devices when starting try to connect infinitely (dropped the "Autostart a network camera each" option as it is not necessary with the new connect infinitely feature).
- Tabbed document interface (TDI).
- Show a warning if sleep/standby/hibernation enabled.
- Use the Ctrl key to switch between Add and Remove Detection Zones.
- Fixed recent changes/problems of window.innerWidth/Height.
- In web interface dropped swf (flash player) backwards compatibility.
- Dropped Windows XP and Windows 2003 support (ReactOS support has also been dropped because it only implements the Windows 2003 API).
v7.0 [Oct 16, 2017]
Native RTSP cameras support (dropped VLC re-streaming of RTSP cameras)
Updated internal web server to Apache 2.4.25 and PHP 5.4.45 (both with OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips)
Possibility to obscure the video source from the web interface.
All cameras can now capture audio from a selectable source (removed Axis HTTP audio support, please use RTSP)/
New status-bar pane showing the maximum overall movement detection buffers size.
Attention: with version 4.3.0 we removed UDP networking because it was ContaCam's proprietary streaming protocol not compatible with any current standard (it's still possible to stream a video source through the web server, see this FAQ entry).
v5.3.0 [Oct 31, 2016]
- Password protect all cameras with form based authentication
(this authentication type works well on all browsers)
- Attach a snapshot to the daily email notification
- Using the AVIR image resizing algorithm designed by Aleksey Vaneev
v5.0.9 [Apr 25, 2015]
Web interface has a new html5 calendar picker (browser must support it)
Enhanced ContaCam service installation
Audio support for Axis ip cameras
Disallow standby and hibernate when there are cameras running
Full Vietnamese language support.
v4.3.0 [Feb 13, 2013]
- Split the 'Other HTTP Device' mode in Server Push and Client Poll
- Swf snapshot history file is now correctly created even if restarting ContaCam (snapshots preceding restart are not lost)
- In Device Assistant added a button to move the camera folder; under Tools menu there is the possibility to move all camera folders in one command
- Live snapshot names can now be configured
- Increased support from 15 to 100 DirectX devices
- In log messages the user assigned device name is now shown
- For microapache set MaxKeepAliveRequests to 0 (=No Limit) to avoid frame jumps which were happening when the keep alive request count reached 0 and a reconnection was necessary
- Longer detection files option introduced in version 4.0.5
is now always on
- Removed UDP networking because it was ContaCam's proprietary streaming protocol not compatible with any current standard(it's still possible to stream a video source through the web server, a FAQ entry has been added illustrating that)
- Removed manual record pause command which was of no use
v4.1.0 [Dec 6, 2012]
In the web interface it is now possible to click on the live
image to see it in fullscreen (to get this new feature run
the Device Assistant for each camera)
Closing the Device Settings dialog was not always storing
the configurations to disk
Fixes for HTTP requests, HTTP parser and HTTP authentication
Fixed absolute URL issues with HTTPS servers
(thanks to Cesare Gilardi for reporting the problem)
Added Bulgarian web interface language
v3.9.9 [Dec 27, 2011]
- Overall speed optimizations and memory page faults reduction,
especially the motion detection engine is now less
CPU intensive
- Enhanced movement detection pre-buffer
- Motion detection configurable zones size
- New command to import/export motion detection zones
- Motion detection command execution starts now on detection
begin and not on detection end as before
- External motion trigger file to support contact sensors and
PIR detectors
- 10% HD size limit check is now each 10-15 min and the
deletion of old files is more balanced between cameras
- Updated tutorials to reflect this version 3.9.0
- Removed false detection with blue and none blue zones because
it could end up deleting important detections when a false
detection occurred together with a true detection and this
even more if it was not well configured!
- Removed old VfW support, removed unused rec size segmentation
and post recording
v3.3 [Aug 22, 2011]
- Optimized installer size and removed installer CRC check;
because it can fail on network shares;
- Timer enhancements for the web interface swf player;
- Email header fixes for email sending on movement detection;
- Possibility to manually select the email authentication method;
- The FTP and the email configuration dialogs are now working as expected: after the Test button has been pressed the Cancel button doesn't change the settings.
