Other changes

• Interface:
  • Added three new theme colors: blue-gray, brown and purple
  • Added a confirm modal to remove all button (notifications/recordings)
  • Moved back and signout button to bottom actionsheet (camview)

Bugfixes

• Minor UI bugfixes

Notable changes

• Livestreams: Livestreams has been completely redesigned and fully integrated into the interface. There are NO more "socketPorts" necessary in config.json. Instead of opening a separate websocket server, the streams are bound to the interface's own server/socket.io where the streams all run over the same port but have their own "room" (e.g. .../socket.io/stream/My Camera). This change allows more control of the streams and are significantly more resource efficient.
  • Developers' note: Removing the socket ports and integrating the camera streams into the interface own server/socket.io has the reason that in the future camera.ui should also run with other homebridge plugins like "homebridge-camera-ffmpeg".

Other changes

• Interface:
  • It is now possible to reload the stream on Dashboard/Camview if the stream could not be started due to an ffmpeg error etc.
  • Changed icon from "change favourite camera" button (dashboard/camview)
  • Added animation to "change favourite camera" button
  • Changed theme color from yellow to orange
  • Minor UI improvements

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where streams doesnt stop after changing stream settings
• Fixed an issue where the placeholder/fallback images not changed the color according to the current theme
• Fixed an issue where the snapshot timer displayed an incorrect value and therefore refreshed the image earlier than SHOULD have happened
• Fixed an issue where the console displayed a message that a new movement was detected even though the camera was still processing the "old" movement.
• Minor bugfixes

Other changes

Breaking Changes

• Database: Database was completely rewritten to work better with the Rest API. All who used v3.X before have to delete their database (config.ui.db.json) to use v4.X
• Recordings: Due to the changes in the backend, the recordings must also be deleted so that camera.ui v4 can re-analyze them to make them visible in the interface.

Notable Changes

• Added REST API (Documentation available at /swagger)
• Preparations made so that the interface can also run without Homebridge
• "Backup & Restore" function is now included. You can easily download/restore the database AND the images
• HTTP/MQTT server for motion detection was separated and works independently from the plugin

Other Changes

• Other bug fixes
• Dependencies were updated
• Interface:
  • Interface has been rewritten with VUE for an even better user experience.
  • Dashboard now has a "drag & drop" function.
  • Cameras, Recordings, Notifications: The filter function has been rewritten and is now directly controlled via the API.
  • Some settings that were accessible via config.json are now available via UI and not via config.json.
  • User "access authorization" has been completely rewritten. The "master" can create users and give/remove access permission for anything.
  • Contingent option has been added for image recognition in order to better control the number of image analyses.
• Server
  • Server was completely rewritten and new REST API endpoints were added.
  • Security has been increased.
  • New tests were added.

• NEW: Image Rekognition
  • Added Image Rekognition with Amazon Web Services to analyse, detect, remember and recognize objects, scenes, and faces in images. You can enable for each camera the image rekogniton and you can even set labels for each cam. For each object, scene, and concept the API returns one or more labels. Each label provides the object name. For example, suppose the input image has a lighthouse, the sea, and a rock. The response includes all three labels, one for each object.
• NEW: Telegram Notification
  • Now it is possible that the image is sent immediately via Telegram without saving the image/video before. (Recording must be active under setting and Telegram must be set to 'Snapshot' for the camera).
