2026.01.27

Firmware 2501 is officially released! This update delivers breakthrough AI enhancements, a more intuitive user experience, and more flexible account management features—comprehensively improving usability and lowering system deployment barriers. Let’s explore these exciting new capabilities together!

⚠️ Important Update Notice :
   To ensure sufficient firmware space, please update your system to
 firmware version 2403 before upgrading to firmware version 2501.

Sharper License Plate Images

Firmware 2501 provides LPR Scene Mode, a pre-defined image optimization preset specifically designed for low-speed vehicle monitoring
(below 40 km/h). By prioritizing license plate clarity as the core focus, this mode ensures sharper, high-contrast images that are essential for accurate identification. This optimized feed provides a better foundation for backend platforms like VAST Security StationVORTEX and other third-party integrations. It minimizes integration barriers and ensures that plate information remains clear and easy to search.

Note: This feature is not designed for highway or speed-enforcement camera applications.

Supported LPR Scene Mode models:
IB9387-EHTV-V3IB9391-EHTV-v2 

Smoother Management and Operation

1. Enhanced Account Management Flexibility

Now supports individual account enable/disable controls, simplifying account maintenance and reducing setup time.

2. Two-Way Audio Intercom Support

A new voice button has been added to the camera’s web interface. When operating in an HTTPS-secure connection environment, users can freely choose the audio output source—either the built-in speakers or an external line output. When two-way audio is enabled, the AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) function is automatically activated, enabling full intercom capabilities directly through the camera’s web interface and greatly enhancing two-way voice call quality.

Supported two-way audio feature models:
IT9399-HTVW
 / IT9399-HVW / IT9389-HTVW-V3 / IT9389-HVW-V3

3. Emergency Recording Function Support

In urgent situations, users can press the Emergency Recording button to immediately capture critical footage and securely save key evidence—helping accelerate incident response.

More Intuitive PTZ Camera Control Modes

Supports three on-screen control methods:

  1. Joystick – Drag the mouse in the desired direction directly on the liveview to adjust the PTZ camera’s shooting angle.
  2. Click on Image – Click anywhere on the liveview scene to instantly move the camera to that position.
  3. Area Zoom – Draw a frame on the liveview to zoom in on the target area.

Supported Speed Dome Camera Models: SD9394-EHLSD9367-EHL / SD9387-EHL

More Flexible System Deployment

  • Increased Rule Capacity – The maximum number of trigger events has been increased to 20. This allows for a greater number of independent settings to cover diverse requirements in various monitoring environments.
  • Enhanced Fisheye Dewarp Streaming – Fisheye cameras now support two new live streaming aspect ratios (1:1 and 4:3) and can output multiple dewarped streams simultaneously. By delivering dewarped images directly to any platform, the cameras significantly reduce the need for client-side processing and resolve compatibility issues between fisheye hardware and third-party correction algorithms.
    (Supported Fisheye Camersa Models: FE9192-H / FE9391-EHV-V2 / FE9191-H-V2

Other Update Details

  • Enhanced Tampering Detection – Integrated AI models to improve alarm accuracy and reduce false alarms caused by lighting changes.
  • Expanded Integration Support – Added compatibility SD card events and other detection event types for Genetec.
  • User Experience Improvements – Various UI refinements and performance optimizations for smoother operation.

The release of Firmware 2501 marks another major breakthrough in the field of intelligent surveillance. From AI-enhanced license plate recognition clarity to flexible account management to intuitive PTZ control, every enhancement reflects our core vision of “Make tomorrow easier, make every action smarter.”

This update not only delivers a superior user experience but also significantly lowers the technical barriers for system deployment and maintenance. We believe these feature upgrades will bring you greater value while providing stronger product support.
