eConnect 10.3 Release Notes
Welcome to eConnect version 10.3! This release delivers powerful new features, significant enhancements, critical bug fixes, and essential maintenance updates designed to elevate your security operations and user experience.
Spotlight Features
Major Alert System Enhancements
Transform the way you manage alerts with our comprehensive alert system overhaul. Stay in control even during high-pressure situations with intelligent features like "Auto Follow," which automatically launches camera feeds and follows subjects in real-time. Watch as Facial Recognition seamlessly tracks individuals across your property, with cameras dynamically switching to show the latest detections in a continuous loop.
Take command with per-user alert settings: Enable Popups, Auto Follow, Auto-Acknowledge, and Audio Notifications tailored to your workflow.
Need uninterrupted focus? Activate temporary mute for 30 minutes to suppress popups, auto-follow, and auto-engage features.
Monitor mute status and remaining time directly from the alert title bar.
Navigate instantly to video evidence with the new follow icon to load the triggered alert right now.
Face Recognition Quality Assessment
Unlock the full potential of facial recognition with our advanced quality assessment tools. Now you can fine-tune search parameters to identify faces even in challenging, low-quality images. Whether it's grainy surveillance footage or imperfect uploads, our system adapts to find matches that were previously missed, expanding your investigative capabilities.
Visual quality indicators with star ratings provide instant feedback on image quality, helping you make informed decisions about enrollment and searches.
Association Graph Improvements
Dive deeper into connections with our enhanced association graphs. We've resolved the time period initialization bug, ensuring accurate data from the start.
Refine your investigations with the new "Refresh Counts" feature—adjust ranges and update connection counts without rebuilding the entire graph.
Right-click association lines to explore source and target detections, revealing the faces that forged each connection.
For complex investigations, save and restore graph layouts to maintain continuity across sessions and share insights with colleagues.
When graphs become cluttered, use "Recalculate Graph" to reorganize and optimize spacing without re-querying data.
Subject Printable PDF Reports
Generate comprehensive, customized PDF reports for subject profiles with ease. Select exactly which data points, visualizations, and insights to include, creating professional reports perfect for case files, briefings, or legal documentation.
Visualize activity patterns with yearly heatmaps of visit history, providing clear insights into subject behavior over time.
Point of Sale Split Check Enhancements
Streamline Point of Sale operations with clickable hyperlinks in data grids and live check data. No more hunting for details—click directly on check numbers or items to access comprehensive transaction information instantly.
Custom Tag Expiration Options
Take control of tag management with flexible expiration policies. Configure custom rules to automatically remove tagged visitors—like eScan tags—after periods of inactivity, keeping your database clean and focused on active subjects who may return.
The Tag and Tag Action management pages have been refreshed with an improved interface, making it easier to edit tag data and configure actions.
