KVision 3.5.0

A search for detection events, better event pictures, and an optional way to show a broker value in a camera's on-screen text.

Added

  • Overlay text from MQTT. A new Overlay text from MQTT... button in the settings shows a value from an MQTT broker, such as an outside temperature, in one of a camera's on-screen text overlays and refreshes it every few minutes (5 by default). Choose the broker and topic, the camera (cameras behind a recorder are listed too), the text, Celsius or Fahrenheit, and the number of decimals. Test shows what it would write without writing, and Remove from camera takes the text off again. It is off by default, changes only the one text overlay you choose, writes only when the text has changed, and works while KVision is running. Plain MQTT (no TLS). No extra package is needed.
  • Search the Detection events by time range (last hour to last 7 days, today, yesterday), by target (human, vehicle, animal, other) and by type (line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, region exit, tracking, motion, other smart events), across all cameras, with a count. Plain motion is left out unless you pick Motion.
  • Save the picture you are viewing as a snapshot (camera button or the S key) in your snapshot folder, named like a live snapshot with the event kind added.
  • Target box and zone on pictures that have no camera frame. Some cameras, such as wide-angle panoramic models, save event pictures without the red target frame. New smart-event log lines now record where the target was and which zone fired, and the viewer draws a red target box and an orange zone outline on those pictures, with a tick box to hide them. The caption shows the zone number.
  • 5-second rewind and forward buttons in playback.

Changed

  • A PTZ track now keeps four snapshots, the first taken at once, then one a second apart.
  • The launcher hides Qt's harmless tooltip binding-loop warning unless you start kvision --verbose.

Documentation

  • The README explains that the 1x1, 2x2 and similar top bar grids are temporary and go away when you click a saved layout.

Linux only. Full list: CHANGELOG.md.
