Of course that is just my opinion, but I hope this helps others who are trying to determine which surveillance software to use. Xeoma is a great choice for many people to balance resource utilization, licensing cost, features, and UX (user experience). ![]() I opt not to buffer the stream so I get near real-time data and decode it on the computer I'm watching the stream from and use the GPU to handle the decoding so I don't get any connection issues. For example, if you choose to buffer and transcode the archive on your server rather than the client your server hardware needs to be powerful enough to handle that. As for why PTZ isn't working in your case you should contact the developer and explain your issue with your specific camera model.Īs for your connection issue, it might be your camera configuration module or client settings. Once I set those settings I rarely change them. Nearly all of my camera configurations like zoom, rotation, text overlay, network settings, picture quality settings, I set using my camera's UI as well. I don't have PTZ cameras, but do have a couple varifocal and zooming does work through Xeoma (just tested). I couldn't even get a decent camera connection going.I admit my IP camera is a Foscam on the older side, but it wouldn't give me much control over it, like tilt and pan, etc.I had to keep dropping back to the camera UI to make adjustments. ![]() (when I have time to include presence detection this workflow will be updated to query HA for presence prior to uploading to Slack) Xeoma: Send an http request to node-red Xeoma: Create an archive (only way to get an mp4) Xeoma: When a motion event is triggered Combining node-red with Xeoma has given me even more flexibility to set up complex workflows that can't be done using Xeoma only.įor instance one of the workflows I have is integrating Xeoma with Slack: ![]() I've used Xeoma for years and continue to do so because the developer is responsive to emails, bugs I've brought up get patched usually in the next version, chaining modules gives you a lot of control over specific workflows, and Xeoma is relatively light on hardware resources compared to others. What are you trying to do in Xeoma that has led you to think it's terrible? Want to keep all licenses working? Stay with the version of Xeoma that your licenses are valid for.Unfortunately tho, Xeoma is a terrible product and you get much, much more functionality with Zoneminder, its looks dated. Ignore the warning and update – you will have only licenses with unexpired free updates period working. If you have a mix of licenses whose free updates period has run out with those whose hasn’t, the same rule applies. If the free updates period has run out you have a choice of continue using the latest version of Xeoma available for this license, or in some cases when you really want that update, you can do so but the license will not work in the new version. ![]() You can see the free updates period for each of the licenses. You can do it in Main menu -> Information -> Active licenses or by requesting information from our site: If you’re not sure what to do, we advise you to cancel the update for the time being and first make sure you understand what is going on and why, and that you’re ok with it.įirst off, you are advised to check your licenses. If you’re trying to update your Xeoma and are getting a prompt saying that if you continue, your one or several licenses will stop working, it means that one or several of your licenses activated on this Xeoma server have run out of the free updates period and don’t support the new version you’re trying to install. ← See all customer care notes What is this prompt that says I’ll lose licenses after update?
