Nx Witness Mobile 4+

BREAKING CHANGES:
*Support of Servers version 4.2 will be discontinued in the next major release (25.2).



NEW SUPPORTED OS:

*iOS 18
*iPadOS 18

IMPROVEMENTS:
*Connection time to Systems was significantly reduced.
*On big Systems with many devices, archive chunks on the timeline are being loaded much faster.
*Video playback can now switch from hardware to software decoding in case of a hardware decoder failure. This can be disabled with a new “Enable software decoder fallback” setting.
*Unnecessary transcoding on the Camera Screen opened from Bookmark/Object Preview can now be avoided by the “Maximum decoders count” option (see the “Beta Features” section in Settings).
*Font colors for different placeholders were adjusted for better visibility.

BUG FIXES:
*Black frames were displayed instead of live video for some fisheye cameras (i.e, Hanwha PNM-9031RV). Fixed.
*Images could be dewarped in an opposite angle. Fixed.
*If a camera had more than 5 action buttons (soft triggers, PTZ or 2-way audio), they could overlay and hide timeline zoom in/out buttons. Fixed.
*After every attempt to enable/disable Motion Search for Servers 5.0/5.1, the “Loading” status was displayed for a few seconds and then playback position moved to archive. Fixed.
*Watermark was not displayed over the video on the Bookmark/Object Preview screen. Fixed.
*Link to the Cloud account settings on the dialog “Cannot connect to the System. Two-factor authentication is required” did not work. Fixed.
*A pop-up message with an unexpected clipboard operation appeared in Mobile Client on startup or connection to a System. Fixed.
*The “Press and hold” tooltip was still displayed even if the soft trigger button was released. Fixed.
*Search filters for objects worked only for the first word specified. Fixed.
*The Mobile Client could not reconnect to the system via if server IP had changed. Fixed.

*Minor optimization of the 2-way audio button behavior for the situation when microphone permission has not been granted yet.
*Buttons for Type/Color/Subtype in Object Search were displayed partially off-screen on iPad. Fixed.
*Streams from some cameras (i.e. MS-C4466-RFPE) could not be viewed on iOS. Fixed.
*When setting up an analytics object filter on Apple devices, the changes could not be applied after the first attempt and the on-screen keyboard reopened. Fixed.

TESTED OS:

*iOS / iPadOS 16, 17, 18.
