QVR Client Web Beta 2 Update

Thanks for your Beta 1 feedback. Beta 2 introduces major features and important fixes. Please review the notes below before testing.

What’s New & Improvements

  • Two-Way Audio: Talk directly from the live view. Each cell now has a talk button, complete with an active TALKING indicator and stop control.

  • Smart Search: Quickly locate specific footage across large volumes of recordings, mirroring the intuitive QVR app experience.

  • Event Search: A new full-screen page to centrally browse and locate historical events.

  • Sequential View: Automatically cycle through saved views—perfect for patrol or video-wall monitoring.

  • Codec Display Fix: Video codecs previously labeled as avc1 are now clearly displayed as H.264.

Important Notes & Limitations

  • Firefox H.265 Limitation: Firefox’s WebCodecs API currently does not support H.265 (HEVC) decoding. Please use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge if your camera streams use H.265.

  • HTTPS Required: W3C specifications require HTTPS for hardware-accelerated decoding. You must access the client via HTTPS (with the correct port, e.g., 443), even on local networks.

  • Installation: Please install the client via the QTS App Center. Direct integration into the QVR Surveillance app is planned for a future release.

I upgraded without issue. I see a note on the video using 265 codex on firefox in the video box now.

not sure where the search functionality is within the app.

Didnt test two way talk since i dont use that anyways.

Did you fix the overly dark and unreadable text on the mobile web page versions?

So biggest issue so far: If you click the QVR Web app in Application Manager, it attempts to open the website under http and not https. It should like to the secure port appropriately.

No you still have not fixed the unreadable text in the mobile version of the app. See the picture. It’s too dim. You cannot read it…

It looks like there’s no text there but there is. It’s just grey and very, very light. If you blow up the pic you can see it but barely. Expand the picture below and you can see it says 10:25:23 between the live button and the muted speaker icon

To have an adaptive webview for mobile device are bit pain actually. It somehow means to design another version of the application in a very limited space.

While we doing UT our focus are on PC/mac browser so we’re not really test mobile devices for beta, so thanks. For the colors you pointing out we could fix them, and finding some way to ensure https are used in “App Center”

just curious why you dont use the qvr pro client app on mobile devices?

I am using QVR Pro Client on the mobile and everywhere else. But I am testing the web app also.

I understand that an adaptive web view for mobile is a pain. I do some of my own development in that space. And I’m not complaining about anything in that other than the text color. Some text color other than light gray on a black background should be fine and shouldn’t be too hard to update.

Yes,
in short we will change the color with next release. (And maybe some more features porting from App version at same time)

Let us know if you find anything else and we can include fixes for them, if any.

Yes please :grinning_face:
