ITVDesk Pro IP Camera 11.2: Live Preview, Stream Insights, Bonjour/mDNS, RTCP and ONVIF Analytics

ITVDesk 11.2 makes it easier to set up your cameras and understand how your streams are performing. Preview video before saving camera settings, see connected clients and live stream statistics, and select application windows more flexibly. This release also improves activity monitoring, VMS/NVR integration, secure connections, and overall reliability.

Release highlights

  • Video preview and combined layouts let users check supported sources, crop, scaling, and layout before saving camera settings. New vertical and mirrored arrangements expand combined-stream options.
  • Live stream insights show session details, measured outgoing FPS, bitrate, and total outgoing traffic. Compatible unicast clients can also provide round-trip time and video packet-loss statistics through existing RTCP reports.
  • Application and security analytics provide ONVIF VideoAnalytics metadata for compatible VMS/NVR clients, alongside independent Motion output controls and flexible Application Windows selection by full title, partial title, or program name. Metadata display, indexing, and search depend on the receiving VMS.
  • Discovery and update controls add optional Bonjour/mDNS discovery, automatic update-check controls, download progress, and download cancellation while keeping manual update checks available.
  • ONVIF integration expands with processor-load monitoring, camera LastReboot events, and TLS Configuration Add-on 2.0 functionality with RSA/ECC key support, certificate signing requests, and certificate management through compatible VMS clients.

Reliability fixes

  • Improved concurrent local replay, file-source initialization, audio timing, video conversion, and RTSP service/session status handling.
  • Strengthened HTTP/HTTPS request validation and file access protection while retaining existing stream addresses and connection settings.

ITVDesk Pro IP Camera 11.1: Desktop Performance, Audio and ONVIF Reliability

ITVDesk 11.1 improves Windows desktop and audio capture performance, audio backchannel stability, HTTP/HTTPS tunneling, and ONVIF integration for professional VMS and NVR environments.

Release highlights

  • Windows desktop performance improves with FPS-paced frame processing and cached video conversion contexts. Local Windows VM tests delivered approximately 24.45 FPS at a 25 FPS target, compared with 18-19 FPS previously.
  • Audio and Talk reliability improves with safer session shutdown and stable RTSP URLs when Audio IN is enabled, changed, or disabled for local Desktop, Window, and Webcam streams.
  • HTTP/HTTPS tunneling handles fragmented stream-control data and repeated connection changes more reliably, including when multiple cameras or VMS/NVR clients are used.
  • ONVIF integration improves with HTTPS service discovery and replay updates. All 651 tests in the executed ONVIF Device Test Tool 26.06 test set passed with the tested device configuration for Profile T support.
  • Unicast and multicast streaming gains more reliable transport selection, shared multicast startup, and sender handover while retaining existing saved settings.

Reliability fixes

  • UI Protection now also locks Server Mode stop/configure and apply/start controls.
  • Corrected multicast transport retries and stream addresses, and prevented duplicate ONVIF analytics rule descriptions after camera reinitialization.
