M Series 5.04.020_241106 Released

No release notes. Just loaded it on mine.

- Prompt to enter region, timezone and daylight savings at first login

- Sub stream and Main Stream Live View works in MacOS Safari as does playback. Previously the timeline progressed while leaving a frozen image (Hallelujah, praise the lord, let's see how long that lasts before they [Hikvision] break it again

- New web version V5.0.17_R0102 build 240903. Seems to support Human, Vehicle, Smart Search but doesn't work in MacOS (unsupported - use Windows ugh)

- New encoding version V5.0 build 241101

- Preview windows now appear correctly within the menus for MacOS Safari. Line Crossing setup looks correct on those previews but motion detection polygon does not match what is set in the camera.

- You can now enable/disable human/vehicle filter while Smart Search icon is selected (previously they were mutually exclusive). Unfortunately Smart Search doesn’t seem to work and gives no results (G5 cameras)

Anything else I notice I'll add to this post above...

I wonder why? Have you ever seen NVR firmware ask this before?

I think this is the version is was mentioned to fix the access control devices, so will be interested to see if that’s the case!

The Region setting is something that's been added to newer NVR firmwares. I've noticed it in other models recently.

This seems to be another buggy release so far as AcuSense and Smart Playback are concerned:

Previous versions:

• In playback clicking the Human/Vehicle icons alone would immediately show markers for all those events.
• Clicking the Smart Search icon would disable the Human/Vehicle icons, display the green rectangle along you to do a search for motion or line crossing in a defined area (this search didn't work properly and only displayed events according to the pre applied Human/Vehicle filter in the event setup - otherwise no results were displayed)

New version:

• In playback clicking the Human/Vehicle icons has no effect. Markers will not appear on the timeline despite events being recorded
• Clicking the Smart Search icon no longer disables the Human/Vehicle icons. It puts the green rectangle on the screen allowing a search within a defined area. This now works correctly allowing you to filter for Human and/or vehicle within the area OR see all motion events.
• Line crossing momentarily appeared to work in Smart Search before failing.

After attempting to do a Smart Search with Line Crossing and selecting Human filter, the interface froze completely. The NVR local UI is completely locked up. I've managed to access the web UI to reboot. After a full power down and restart the Line Crossing Smart Search is now working correctly.

To summarise:

• Smart Playback seems to be completely fixed with the ability to do a motion or line crossing search in any part of the view. The results correctly show markers on the timeline reflecting whether a Human, Vehicle, or no filter is applied.
• Playback 'Human' filter applied (without Smart Search) is broken. Previously clicking the icon would show timeline markers for all pre configured Human events (as set up within your event configuration). Now clicking that icon only appears to show markers for Line Crossing NOT motion. If I want to search for Human Motion I'll have to mess around doing a Smart Search and defining the area. Was a one click operation; now its 7 clicks and 30 seconds - not good.
