Firmware 5 for Xovis sensors
The new Firmware 5 lays the foundation for the future Xovis experience: It simplifies integration into your solutions, helps you save time and money, and provides an intuitive, error-proof workflow adaptable to a wide variety of use cases.
Xovis sensors running with Firmware 5 feature data output with extensive customization options, an API-driven configuration, and a redesigned WebUI. Furthermore, the new data push architecture prepares the PC-series sensors for use in cloud-based environments.
Xovis sensor Firmware 5.1
PC2SE, PC2S, PC2R, PC2, PC3, PCT and even SPIDER are shipped from the factory with Firmware 5.1 already installed. Sensors with Firmware 3.x/4.x or SPIDER running IBEX are still available but will need to be ordered explicitly. A downgrade from 5.x to 3.x/4.x is not possible.
What does Firmware 5.1 offer?
1 Historical data via RestAPI/WebUI and latency optimization are scheduled for a next firmware release.
2 More than 50 sensors possible with upcoming firmware versions.
3 For customers using dynamic queue detection, we ask for a little patience before migrating your SPIDER to Firmware 5. Adding sensors running Firmware 5 to a SPIDER running IBEX is not supported.
Technological improvements for advanced people counting
Firmware 5 replaces all current sensor firmware on PC-series devices. Your implementation of the 3.x & 4.x API will need to be adjusted to work with API v5. A downgrade from 5.x to 3.x/4.x is not possible.

Path Stitching
If a person were to take something from a shelf, covering their head briefly, the "path stitcher" feature would merge the lost track with the new appearing track in the zone.
Our foundation for your future with Xovis
The new Firmware 5 is the building block of all future developments and provides the base to improve and sharpen existing and upcoming AI features.

Better handling, improved user experience, and advanced data retention
Firmware 5 has a completely new look that makes it easier to use than ever. What’s even more: It improves the performance and is more flexible, covering all situations.
- Benefit from a brand new and fast web-based user interface (UI)
- The new configuration wizard allows you to flexibly configure your Xovis sensors, even for advanced use cases, such as assigning elements and logic to scenes
- Store more data on the device thanks to improved storage management: up to 3 years of storage for a regular line count logic (1 count line, 2 counter [in/out]) and a minimum 1 hour cache, ensuring continuous streaming of live data (events and coordinates at a 0.25 second interval)
- Path Stitching is a powerful new tool. It merges lost tracks in a specific zone and timeframe, providing the highest accuracy
- Reworked fill level monitoring "Blocked space" allows you to monitor the 3D fill level in a defined zone, and trigger events

Save time: Faster setup, easier integration, and advanced maintenance
Applying adjustments to the whole sensor base during in-house pre-configuration or in the field just got a lot easier, as the entire sensor configuration is now API-driven. With the API specification coupled to the major version firmware, you can reliably build and maintain your system integration – all future proof.
- Integrate Xovis sensors into IPv6 networks
- Set up and configure new installations faster by stitching together multisensors directly on-device
- Make integrations easier with the new coordinate system in meters/feet for single- and multisensors
- Maintain your existing installations with improved upgrade management (upload now – upgrade later) and advanced logging to win more insights
- Schedule updates at a time convenient to you. Staff are no longer required to maintain the system during inconvenient working hours

Save money - Less bandwidth and cloud processing expenses
Maintenance of data pushes becomes easier since the content controls are now independent of the configuration of connections. Modify either of them independently and choose from a wide variety of options such as selective content or MQTT connection options.
- Improved data output to your system endpoints: The data push architecture separates the in-depth customization of the data payload from many connection options
- Push only customer-relevant data, live or aggregated, thus reducing data traffic and processing (filtered event push), e.g. with PCT1, transfer passenger counts and door events only
- Get all the data delivered to your custom schedule or be selective and choose only the events and objects you need, thus saving bandwidth and/or cloud processing expenses

Reworked, advanced security concept bringing your connection security to the next level
Our new security concept meets today and tomorrow's security requirements and makes sure all settings are correct.
- API needs authentication
- Remote connections are allowed only over encrypted TLS connections
- Secure boot chain and encrypted settings ensure untampered TLS certificates and other cryptographic keys
