exacqVision Ver 2.9 Preview: Mpixel Camera Cropping

Continuing the exacqVision Version 2.9 new feature preview: Another of the major new features in Version 2.9 is Megapixel Camera Cropping.

The IP megapixel cameras from IQeye and Arecont Vision can produce spectacular images with great detail.  With those increased-resolution images also comes increased file sizes and increased network bandwidth usage.

In many cases, there are areas in each megapixel camera image that are not necessary to view or record.  For example, an exterior camera aimed at a parking lot may also include sky or buildings or landscaping in the view, which you do not need to record.  With the new Cropping feature of exacqVision, you can crop out those areas you don’t wish to record, thereby maintaining the high-resolution for the areas you do want to see, but reducing file sizes and network bandwidth usage.

This feature is particularly useful for systems that may have a large number of IP megapixel cameras connected.

Dan and Roger created a YouTube video for this feature as well:

exacqVision Ver 2.9 Preview: Soft Triggers

Within a week we will be releasing exacqVision Version 2.9, continuing our goal of rapid, incremental updates to add features quickly.  One of the major new features in Version 2.9 is Soft Triggers.  This is a feature that allows client buttons to be created that can perform any definable task, created through the Event Linking page. 

For example, on a client station monitoring a remote location, a soft trigger button can be created that lets the person monitoring that site unlock a door at the remote location to let someone in.

The best way to describe this feature is to see it in operation.  Dan and Roger created this brief demo YouTube video:
