Virtual devices are a new device type that holds cameras linked from other devices. Select the cameras to link from a tree view; streaming stays on the parent device. From a sensor’s Associate sensor tab, a camera can also be linked to another customer or site in your hierarchy, so the same camera can be used in both places without duplicating it.
Live streams can be started and stopped from the interface, and stream quality now adapts to the view: the selected camera streams at full resolution, with configurable profiles for multi-camera layouts. The Overview and Sensor overview pages support streaming in local mode.
The sensor and device overviews were also updated: device and sensor icons, editing with permission checks, and server-side sorting so large tables load faster. This release includes stability fixes for playback timestamps, rectangle zoom, the sensor tree and the streaming grid.
