Automatic Bonjour Service Registration: Bonjour services now automatically register new network interfaces when connected, ensuring devices are discoverable on all active interfaces.

Automatic Recovery: The system now detects and recovers from unexpected application errors by restarting affected components or rebooting the device as needed. This ensures minimal disruption and eliminates the need for manual intervention.

Precise PTZ Control: Avigilon H3, H4, and H5A cameras now stop PTZ movement immediately when controls are released, ensuring precise operation.
Reliable Live Streaming: Improved error handling to ensure uninterrupted live streaming functionality.
Improved Firmware Updates: The firmware update process now handles additional error conditions that could have caused update failures.

Improved Device Onboarding: Devices deleted and subsequently re-added to PERCEPT Cloud now come back online successfully within 5 minutes. This ensures a reliable and uninterrupted onboarding process for device management.
Automatic RTSP Stream Recovery: The system now detects and recovers from additional cases of unexpected errors or exceptions in RTSP streams, ensuring uninterrupted streaming functionality without manual intervention.

Stable Genetec Integration: HTTPS connections with Genetec now maintain a more reliable link, enabling uninterrupted streaming and stable system integration.
Improved Milestone Authentication: Devices now authenticate with Milestone servers on the first attempt, minimizing server resource usage and ensuring audit-friendly log entries for seamless operation.

Enhanced RTSP Compatibility: Devices now successfully authenticate with Digital Watchdog VMS' RTSP servers, ensuring compatibility and uninterrupted streaming.
Hikvision H265 Profile Discovery: The H265 profile is now displayed during device discovery, allowing users to select and stream using this profile for improved video quality and compatibility.
Automatic Reconnection for Decoders: Cameras now automatically attempt to reconnect when the "Decoder not started" error occurs, minimizing disruption and eliminating the need for manual intervention.
Axis Camera Profile Discovery: Profiles for all Axis camera models, including the Axis M3114, are now discoverable, ensuring compatibility and seamless integration.

Secure Remote Access: Devices now support remote connectivity using PERCEPT Cloud Secure Tunnelling, enabling safe and reliable access for monitoring and management from any location.
Temperature Reporting Support: Models with temperature sensors (ION-R100S and ION-R200) now support temperature reporting, allowing real-time temperature data to be viewed in the web interface and logged for analysis.

Seamless Orientation Transitions: Displays now transition smoothly between Landscape and Portrait orientations without visual artifacts, providing a consistent viewing experience.
Faster Video Initialization: Video now initializes and displays within 30 seconds of boot-up, reducing delays and improving usability.
Reliable Image Management: All selected images are now consistently added to carousels, ensuring efficient organization and management of multiple images.
Unobstructed Video Streams: Data sources remain fully visible without overlays obstructing the view, ensuring continuous monitoring of streams.
Accurate Cloud Connection Status: Devices now correctly reflect their PERCEPT Cloud connection status, ensuring that disabled connections are not erroneously reported as active.
Stable On-Screen Display (OSD): Devices remain fully functional and online when OSD features are enabled, preventing operational disruptions.
