Mirasys VMS V9.10.0 release notes

Release date: 17.6.2026

Enhancements

Recognition functionalities enhancements

Libraries update

The AI model inference and video decompression libraries have been updated to newer versions. These updates improve speed and reduce resource consumption for face, license plate, and object recognition.

Installer changes

Installation of the Mirasys License Plate Recognition, Face Recognition, and Object Recognition services requires the installation of the following NVIDIA libraries for Windows:

The installers detect NVIDIA library installers in the ‘NVIDIA’ subfolder and install them automatically if present. Please find the detailed installation steps in the installation instructions.

Face recognition improvements

Face Recognition has undergone significant changes to improve face detection and identification accuracy without affecting performance. Integrating face tracking with recognition eliminates multiple recognition events for the same face, reducing false positives and duplicate detections, enabling users to focus on genuine recognition events.

The system now detects up to 20 faces simultaneously from the video stream.

Object recognition improvements

Object Recognition has been enhanced to detect persons and vehicles, as well as their attributes, more accurately, resulting in fewer false positive detections.

In the camera Object Recognition settings, the user can select which object recognitions are performed for the camera stream. The user can select whether vehicles or persons are detected, and if the person similarity data is being calculated for the person similarity search. This allows for optimising the Object Recognition resource usage and reducing the amount of detection data by selecting only those object recognitions that are truly needed.

Smart Recognition and Smart Search improvements

The face recognition event in the Spotter Smart Recognition and Smart Search event list displays both the matched identity's default image and the matching face image. This lets users identify which identity matches the detected face and the exact face image matched.

Filters in Smart Recognition and search criteria in Smart Search support free text search, enabling quick selection when filter values or criteria lists are long.

List management improvements

Identity Image Refactoring

The usage of identity images in the List Management has undergone a major refactoring. The number of identity images for an identity is limited to three images. The user can define which identity images are used with the face recognition. The identity images used with the face recognition need to meet the new requirements: the image must contain a big enough face, and the quality of the image needs to be fit for the face recognition and face matching. This is ensured by calculating the face image quality value when an identity image is added to be used with face recognition. The identity images that do not meet the requirements cannot be used for face recognition.

System and Spotter Smart List Management Settings

The identity and the identity list settings in the System Manager List management settings and in Spotter Smart List Management have been changed to show all identity images for each identity with the identity face image quality. The quality value is shown for the identity images that are selected to be used with face recognition. The identity lists can be sorted by identity image using face image quality.

Identity Import and Export Updates

The identity and identity list import and export have been updated to support the new identity image parameters. By default, identity import from the older system will try to set all identity images to be used with face recognition. The import progress indicator and the import result will show details of the import success and failures. The identity export can be used to export only the identities that have identity images with a low quality value. This allows easier bulk update for the low-quality identity images.

Peer-to-Peer review

A new Peer-to-Peer functionality allows Spotter operators to share their selected view with non-security workers.

By using the new Spotter Viewer application, the non-security worker can see the operator's view as the operator sees it, allowing the reviewing of shared footage without further access to the security system and its stored data. Install the Spotter Viewer using its separate installer.

Mirasys VMS system supports several simultaneous viewing stations to which the Spotter operators can share their view. The view-sharing rights per viewing station can be defined at the user group level, and the view-sharing activities are stored in the audit trail.

Spotter PTZ and joystick control improvements

Support for Hanwha SPC-7000

Support for the Hanwha SPC-7000 joystick was added to the Spotter application.

PTZ speed controls for joystick

In the Spotter input device layout settings, users can adjust the PTZ speed for pan, tilt, and zoom independently. This enables precise control of PTZ movement at the joystick level.

Maximize and restore the view in PTZ control mode

Double-clicking the mouse to maximize or restore the view in the Spotter PTZ camera control has been disabled. This change ensures the point-to-move PTZ control functions correctly without triggering view maximization. When PTZ control is active, use the maximize and restore buttons to adjust the camera view, as you would when PTZ control is inactive.

Spotter export functionality improvements

Dual export

Exporting to two different locations with different export parameters is now possible in the Spotter export by using dual exporting. This allows the creation of exports for different purposes, for example, one for archive purposes and another for authorities. The dual exporting can be used with clip, storyboard, storyboard draft, alarm, and still image export.

To enable dual exporting, the Spotter role for it has to be enabled first in the System Manager user group settings. When the user has the right to use dual exporting, the default export settings for the dual export can be adjusted in the Spotter settings. The dual export parameters can also be adjusted in the export dialog.

Confirmation on the storyboard clearing

Click the Clear button in the storyboard panel to clear its content. To prevent accidental clearing, the system requests user confirmation and clears the storyboard only after confirmation.

Allow more than 8 channels to export.

Users can add up to 32 streams to a single SEF export in the Spotter application, allowing more streams to be saved together. Exporting multiple streams in one file provides an efficient method for archiving data. If other formats are selected, the export dialog informs users of stream count limits, exporting only the first streams supported by the format.

Other Spotter improvements

Simultaneous live and playback in alam pop-up

The Spotter alarm pop-up can be set in Spotter settings to show live and recorded streams simultaneously during an alert. Users can set the alarm playback start time. Live streams appear in a pop-up window above recorded streams.

Showing the VMS server description in Spotter

The VMS server description can be shown in the Spotter profile tree tooltip for camera devices, alongside other selectable information. This displays detailed information about the selected server, including the camera's configured server and its basic settings.

Application PDF help

Spotter offline help is available in PDF format. Selecting it from the Spotter help menu opens the default PDF viewer to display the content.

Collapse and expand all profile folders in Spotter

The new Spotter profile tree context menu for profile folders includes options to expand or collapse folders.

Spotter profile search lets users find folders while displaying their full content. This simplifies locating a specific site and viewing all devices on it, particularly in complex, large setups.

Signal loss time period selection in the Camera Audit plugin

In the Spotter Camera Audit plugin main view, select the time period to view camera signal loss over the last day, 7, 15, 30, or 90 days. This simplifies narrowing down when a camera experienced connection issues.

Layouts are shown in a consistent way

The layouts in Spotter settings and in the layout menu are shown in a consistent way.

System Manager improvements

Using the settings backup to add components to the system

During settings restoration, the system settings backup can restore and add components to the VMS system. The system administrator can add, update, or remove users, user groups, profiles, and VMS servers flexibly when restoring settings.

Alarm configuration improvements

Alarm configuration now supports creating new alarms from existing configurations, enabling faster setup of similar alarms.

A device search function has been added to alarm settings for triggers and actions, simplifying device selection.

Copying alarm trigger ID

You can copy the IDs of external alarm triggers created via the Alarm Triggering API or external alarm settings to the clipboard, enabling easy transfer from Mirasys VMS to external applications.

Grouping of camera settings based on the settings capabilities

In the System Manager camera settings, you can sort cameras by their capabilities. This enables sorting the camera list by setting type and performing bulk updates on selected cameras.

Camera shortcuts can be defined in the camera settings

Define camera shortcuts in the camera settings. Override them in profile settings to enable flexible shortcut configurations at the system or profile level.

Camera PTZ control speed settings

In the System Manager camera settings, adjust the system-wide PTZ control speed independently for each camera's pan, tilt, and zoom. This accommodates different PTZ speeds across camera models.

Possibility to disable PTZ usage

The system automatically detects a camera's PTZ capabilities upon addition and enables PTZ accordingly. In System Manager's camera and hardware settings, you can disable the camera's PTZ. This is useful when the camera has only a motorized lens, and users must not change the zoom level. Disabling PTZ for a camera disables this functionality across all system applications.

New settings available in HW settings

In the System Manager hardware settings, you can specify if the camera is a 360 camera.

More time options for the automatic PTZ control release

In profile settings, you can adjust the PTZ control automatic release time. Version V9.10.0 added more options, allowing PTZ control to close automatically after a selected inactivity period. These new options support finer and longer inactivity intervals.

Spotter settings roles

User roles were added for all Spotter settings categories, enabling the system administrator to assign precise rights to enable or disable settings access for Spotter users.

Application PDF help

System Manager offline help is available in PDF format. Opening it from the System Manager help menu or toolbar launches the default PDF viewer to display the content.

Exit System Manager lock screen

The System Manager lock screen lets the user exit the application.

Spotter Plugin API enhancements

The Spotter Plugin API interfaces now include two new functionalities.

The first lets the plugin specify whether it can be opened from the Spotter plugin menus. This enables centrally configured plugins to open only from the device profile tree.

The second lets the plugin determine if the selected stream is in mixed mode, allowing streams to open in live and playback modes within the same grid view.

Alarm Triggering API enhancements

The Alarm Triggering API SDK sample application now automatically calls alarm trigger state changes. This enables users to test the API and VMS alarm behavior without manual intervention.

Installer changes

All Mirasys VMS installers can be launched via script with defined installation parameters using installer switches. Running any Mirasys VMS system installer with the switch '/?' or '/help' lists all available installer switches.

The separate Spotter and System Manager MSI installers are not included in the latest version. Use the Spotter and System Manager executable installers to install the application on client-only machines.

Enhancement notes

The new VMS version includes multiple components and security updates.

Using NVIDIA decompression on clients and VMS servers requires NVIDIA display driver version 576.57 or higher on Windows.
