02/21/2025 – SOC ver 0.0.58

New Features and Bug Fixes

  1. Enhanced Tracking Algorithm: Improved the overall tracking algorithm for better accuracy and performance.
  2. Reorganized Audio Section: Organized the audio section for improved usability.
  3. Improved network security. “Guest Login” is disabled by default and can be enabled on the System Settings page.
  4. Implemented “HTTP Authentication”: Added Digest Authentication to protect API routes enabled by default.
  5. Removed the ability to change the Focus parameters when logged in as a Guest user.
  6. Removed OSD access in the web interface when logged in as a Guest user.
  7. Resolved an issue where the Iris would not fully close in Manual Exposure mode when set to “Close.”
  8. Resolved an issue on Move 4K models where the stop command was not properly triggered when using serial control (RS-232 or RS-485). This caused the camera to continue moving to its limit after releasing the joystick.

Known Issues

  1. NDI video may freeze when simultaneously connected via USB for video. This issue occurs when the camera streams NDI while the USB is connected to another device.
  2. Guest Access Focus Controls: Focus controls are currently missing from the Guest Access login.
  3. When RTMP streaming to YouTube using camera video templates, bitrate errors may occur. Resolution: Adjusting the camera’s video settings to align with YouTube’s video requirements will improve streaming stability and functionality.
  4. The NTP service address cannot be set within the 100 subnet (e.g., 192.168.100.10) through the web interface. This can be modified by using the HTTP API (/cgi-bin/param.cgi?post_network_other_conf&net_addr=[VALUE]) and sending the appropriate server address.

12/27/2024 – SOC ver 8.1.83

New Features and Bug Fixes

  1. Initial camera firmware.

Full Changelog:

5/20/2025 – SOC ver 6.3.72

New Features and Bug Fixes

  1. Resolved an issue where the Snapshot.jpg command returned only the first requested JPEG, blocking any further snapshot requests. The camera can now successfully provide multiple snapshots in succession.
  2. Fixed an issue that prevented users from assigning a static IP address with the IR remote while the camera was in DHCP mode. IR‑shortcut commands now reliably switch the camera from DHCP to the specified static IP.
  3. Improved Network Security: Introduced network-level restrictions for Guest API traffic; requests are now accepted only from administrator-defined IP ranges, blocking all other sources.

Known Issues

  1. Network settings: Leaving any input field blank disables the Submit button; to resolve this, ensure all input fields are populated before submission.
  2. When RTMP streaming to YouTube using camera video templates, bitrate errors may occur. Resolution: Adjusting the camera’s video settings to align with YouTube’s video requirements will improve streaming stability and functionality.

2/7/2025 – SOC ver 6.3.70

  1. Strengthened API Security: Implemented Digest Authentication for HTTP API routes, enabled by default within System Settings > HTTP Authentication, to enhance security
  2. Snap Focus Feature: Added a “Snap Focus” button under navigation controls, enabling users to quickly engage in precise focus adjustments

8/19/2021 – SOC ver 6.3.34 (PoE)

  1. Increased camera security parameters

  3. Added IR address buttons to the camera’s Web Interface under “System”
  4. Changed the IR remote shortcut ([*] > [#] > [4]: Show camera IP address) to display the information until manually closed with the ‘Home’ button
  5. Removed “Auto Scan Shoot” from the camera’s OSD menu and replaced it with “Auto Inspect”. Auto Inspect will call every camera preset, in order, on repeat.
    1. When “Auto Inspect” is enabled, you can adjust the “Residence Time” (How long the camera will remain at a preset). Range: 1 – 60 (seconds)
    2. When “Auto Inspect” is enabled, you can adjust “Call Preset Speed” (How fast the camera calls each preset). Range: 1 – 24.
  6. Removed “Auto Focus L” from the camera’s OSD menu due to limited space in “Setup”
  7. Added the ability to start and stop RTMP streams without requiring a power cycle

Full Changelog:

5/6/2025 – SOC ver 6.3.45

New Features and Bug Fixes

  1. Improved Network Security: Introduced network-level restrictions for Guest API traffic; requests are now accepted only from administrator-defined IP ranges, blocking all other sources.
  2. Resolved an issue where the Snapshot.jpg command returned only the first requested JPEG, blocking any further snapshot requests. The camera can now successfully provide multiple snapshots in succession.
  3. Fixed an issue that prevented users from assigning a static IP address with the IR remote while the camera was in DHCP mode. IR shortcut commands now reliably switch the camera from DHCP to the specified static IP.

Known Issues

  1. Network settings: Leaving any input field blank disables the/Submit/button; to resolve this, ensure all input fields are populated before submission.
  2. When RTMP streaming to YouTube using camera video templates, bitrate errors may occur. Resolution: Adjusting the camera’s video settings to align with YouTube’s video requirements will improve streaming stability and functionality.
