INFORMATION

Re: i3Ai Service v7.3.2.2 Release Notice

To all of our customers and partners;

This bulletin is the official notice of the i3Ai Service v7.3.2.2 release. The new software installation package is now available for download from the i3 website: https://i3international.com/support/download. Effective April 3, 2023 this release package is used as the default Production software version for all i3Ai-enabled NVRs.

New Features

Edge Ai support for select cameras (M71, M77R2). (#53491) Edge Ai feature utilizes the camera’s own built-in analytics functionality without the reliance on the system’s GPU. By offloading the processing to the camera, media server owners without GPU can still use some Ai features and gather analytics information from more channels without additional system resources. Note: The supported “Edge” Ai features are limited to: Area Alarm (Human and Vehicle object types only), Traffic & Dwell and Door Count. For a wider range of Ai features, use GPU-based Ai functionality.
Integrated YOLOv5 object detection model for overall better performance and GPU resource conservation. YOLOv5 engine integration lets i3Ai support more Ai channels without the need for higher system resources. (#52755)
i3Host integration. Single sign-on support and user security (OTP, Login Fail policy, Password rule)(#55508)

Improvements

Improved system resource utilization by playing live video on demand only. (#55612)
In the previous versions, all Ai channels automatically streamed video in the Live mode. To reduce the unnecessary processing load, the user can now chose to play one or several live channels, as needed. Hover over the channel thumbnail and click the Play icon to begin video streaming, click the Pause icon to stop.

The two playback modes are:

```
* Single channel (default)
```
- Multiple channels (including Play all option)
Improved the area drawing function in the Setup.
- Allow customizing the detection area to focus only on the area of interest (#45749). This feature is available for Alarm and Ai Search options only. By default, the entire image is enabled for analysis.
- Display feature type and area name on the tracker. (#46177)
- Match the tracker color on both the Live and Setup modes. (#47316)
Added System > Server logs support. (#23295)
Added clip buffering for resource optimization. (#44958) Leverage GPU capacity by prioritizing Ai tracking channels (E.g. Traffic & Dwell) with current motion for Ai analysis. When no GPU capacity is available, buffer the video clip (record locally) and analyze immediately when GPU capacity becomes available again.
Note: This optimization does not apply to Ai alarming channels that require immediate detection/notification.

USES

Updated NVIDIA GPU driver to v472.84. (#52979)

Various GUI improvements (#53837, #56569, #56571, #56192)
Added “Port” field when adding channels manually (#47383)
Performance improvement: improve Ai tracking speed (fps) for high-resolution camera streams. (#53471)
