Firmware 5 for Xovis sensors

Firmware 5 has a completely new look that makes it easier to use than ever. What’s even more: It improves performance and is more flexible, covering all situations.

• Benefit from a brand new and fast web-based user interface (UI) and a lag time of less than one second on a single sensor and multisensors  
• 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

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
• Accelerate installation and configuration by stitching multi-sensors together directly on the device. Quickly verify sensor setup and tracking quality with the help of visualization maps (heat and height map, historical count data, and start-stop-point visualization) embedded in the device.
• Realize real-time applications with a lag time of less than 1 second per single sensor and under 1.5 seconds for multi-sensors 
• Visualization maps embedded in the sensors’ toolbox. Heat map, height map, historical count data, and start- and stop-points help you quickly verify sensor setup and tracking quality. Available in the Web UI or via API. 

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
• Less bandwidth and cloud processing expenses

Our new security concept meets today's 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 
• On the Web UI, Firmware 5 automatically removes all traces of people within sensor range, an added feature to ensure compliance with privacy rules. The removal is automatic for multisensors, and single sensors operating with privacy level 1.
