Edge-devices: Native Agent Cameras and major upgrades

We're taking our Edge ecosystem further with a release focused on smoother hardware control and expanded features.

  • Proprietary line of Cameras (Agent): our brand-new camera lineup is fully integrated for a unified smart experience

  • Supercharged camera controls: get more out of your Agent cameras with full PTZ support and built-in event tracking

  • Over-the-Air Updates: keep your Agent cameras and Bridges up to date remotely with hassle-free OTA firmware upgrades

Camera (Agent)

Proprietary line of Cameras (Agent)

In this release, we introduce our proprietary line of Cameras (Agent) – a dedicated edge device designed for seamless integration with the platform. The Camera (Agent) is more than just new hardware; it’s a unified software and hardware environment.

The lineup includes two models:

  • Mini-dome camera: CAX-DT01BM-2PS-28

  • Mini-bullet camera: CAX-BT01BM-2PS-28

The Native Camera (Agent) is our own edge device, delivering centralized management, seamless onboarding, and support for advanced video surveillance capabilities. Deeply integrated with our video surveillance platform, it provides users with a single unified interface for configuration, firmware updates, camera service management, and access to built-in intelligent features — eliminating the need for third-party software.

One of the solution’s key advantages is the platform native video analytics engine, enabling advanced capabilities that are independent of any specific hardware vendor. This approach allows us to deliver a broader range of analytics scenarios, ensure consistent device behavior across the entire ecosystem, and rapidly introduce new algorithms as the platform continues to evolve. From the very first release, the Native Camera (Agent) includes a comprehensive set of services designed for reliable and efficient operation:

  • Internet-based video streaming without requiring a static public (“white”) IP address

  • Secure video transmission with end-to-end encryption

  • Remote over-the-air (OTA) updates without requiring physical access to the device

  • Support for native ONVIF camera events

  • Built-in logging service for rapid diagnostics, faster issue resolution, and improved technical support during operational incidents

This is only the beginning. Native Camera (Agent) will continue to evolve alongside the platform, bringing new capabilities, continuous improvements, and expanded functionality. Stay tuned for upcoming updates.

Remote over-the-air (OTA) updates for Camera (Agent)

As part of our ongoing development of edge devices, we are introducing remote over-the-air (OTA) updates for Camera (Agent). OTA (Over-the-Air) technology enables device updates without requiring physical access to the hardware. The new feature is available for both administrators and end users.

  • Administrators have full control over the firmware repository and can initiate updates for selected Camera (Agent) devices. We have implemented a phased rollout mechanism with support for A/B testing of firmware updates, making the update process safer and more reliable. Instead of releasing a new firmware version to all devices at once, administrators can gradually enable access to the update for selected users only. This enables pilot testing in real-world operating environments, minimizing risks and ensuring system stability before a full-scale rollout. New firmware versions can be uploaded through the updated System > Clients and Licensing > Installation files section. Updating a specific camera is initiated from the General information tab in the new Updates section of a camera card. For more details, refer to the administrator documentation pages Installation files and Camera (Agent).

  • Web application users can manage the update process independently from the Camera (Agent) profile under the General information tab. To update the device, users simply need to click the Update button. For more details, see the web user documentation Camera (Agent).

Extended service support: PTZ and built-in events

For video surveillance users, we've rolled out extended support for the powerful services built right into the Camera (Agent)! Head over to the web interface and check out the brand-new Services tab for your selected camera. It is your central hub for effortlessly activating and managing a suite of advanced manufacturer-crafted features:

  • Interactive PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) control: support for remote camera lens positioning. Users can adjust the camera’s pan, tilt, and zoom in real time, allowing them to quickly change the viewing area without the need for additional software.

  • Built-in events: Agent can now work with events generated directly by the camera—whether it is motion detection, alarm signals, or configuration changes. Users only need to select the specific events they want to receive in the settings.

For more details, see the web user documentation Camera (Agent).

Bridge device

Remote over-the-air (OTA) updates for the Bridge device

As part of our ongoing development of edge devices, we are introducing remote over-the-air (OTA) updates for the Bridge device. OTA (Over-the-Air) technology enables device updates without requiring physical access to the hardware. The new feature is available for both administrators and end users.

  • Administrators have full control over the firmware repository and can initiate updates for selected Bridge devices. We have implemented a phased rollout mechanism with support for A/B testing of firmware updates, making the update process safer and more reliable. Instead of releasing a new firmware version to all devices at once, administrators can gradually enable access to the update for selected users only. This enables pilot testing in real-world operating environments, minimizing risks and ensuring system stability before a full-scale rollout. New firmware versions can be uploaded through the updated System > Clients and Licensing > Installation files section. Updating a specific Bridge device is initiated from the General information tab in the new Updates section of a Bridge card. For a step-by-step guide, refer to the administrator documentation: Installation files and Bridge list.

  • Web application users can manage the update process independently from the Bridge device profile under the General information tab. To update the device, users simply need to click the Update button. For detailed instructions, see the Bridges section in the web user documentation.

Web interface for the Bridge device

Meet the brand-new Bridge web interface – a powerful feature designed for seamless remote and local administration, configuration, and device monitoring! Managing your Bridge is now more flexible and convenient than ever. You can access the interface directly through any web browser using its local network IP address, or plug a monitor straight into the device via HDMI. Whether you're configuring settings remotely from afar or standing right in front of the hardware, total control is right at your fingertips.
