New in Obseron 3

Enhanced search results

The feature-based search is now more powerful than ever. Browsing search results is smoother, detected objects are highlighted with clear bounding boxes, and overall performance has been optimized for faster results.

Improved security

Obseron now supports two-factor authentication (2FA), providing an additional layer of protection for user accounts. Even if a password is compromised, logging in still requires a separate verification code. The system also includes configurable minimum password requirements, and users can change their own passwords. In addition, several security-enhancing features are now enabled by default.

AI and LPR features now included as standard

Obseron AI and license plate recognition (LPR) features are now included in all camera licenses at no additional cost. Activate advanced analytics immediately and benefit from more powerful search and recognition capabilities without extra licensing fees.

Raspberry Pi version

Obseron now runs on Raspberry Pi, providing a surprisingly capable option for video management and monitoring on compact, energy-efficient hardware.

System overview in web UI

Gain a centralized, real-time overview of system health and performance across all servers, now accessible through the web interface.

Audio menu

Monitor multiple audio sources across tabs with easy on/off control and clear timeline visualization.

Fresh coat of paint

The entire user interface has been simplified and refined to offer a more intuitive, faster and user-friendly experience.

New video exporting

The new video export tool includes a built-in preview and follows the streamlined workflow introduced in the updated image export.

Updated Blur Studio

Blur Studio has been upgraded to make it easier than ever to blur selected areas in exported video. You can manually mask sensitive content or let the Obseron AI automatically detect and blur faces.

New image exporting

Export images with instant blur and unblur by dragging—perfect for privacy when sharing evidence. Easily adjust the resolution, with each image featuring a  watermark and optional timecode.

Multi-Peek

Preview multiple camera images with ease by holding down the Ctrl button—an ideal feature for control rooms. Pick from your current view or seamlessly navigate through multiple tabs. Export images or videos featuring only the selected camera images.

REST API

This feature opens up a world of possibilities for security automation and seamless integration with other systems. You can now integrate with access control systems, alarm systems, or even analytics software to create a comprehensive security ecosystem. See REST API Documentation to get started.

Obseron AI

An excellent way to add smart features to any video stream. High efficiency keeps your recorder running even with multiple AI instances in use. Obseron AI now detects people and vehicles. Detection of other objects and object tracking coming later. Included in camera license. Windows only.
