SFLE Customer Release Notes

FOCUS H1 FW v2.3.4.03

Overview

We are excited to release version 2.3.4.03 of the Focus H1 Firmware! Version 2.3.4.03 introduces changes to the upload process, as well as changes to Single Sign-On (SSO) login. Brief descriptions of the enhancements, the fixed issues, and the known issues are given below.

Enhancements

Version 2.3.4.03 introduces the following enhancements.

Upload Improvements

Version 2.3.4.03 introduces improvements to the process of uploading evidence from the Focus H1 system to Command Center. Specifically, a greater chunk size will be accepted for upload, thereby improving the throughput speed during resumable uploads. This enhancement corresponds to HS-2852.

Additionally, firmware 2.3.4 also supports enhancements to the TUS protocol implementation. The following two fields have now been added to the header file:

    • GroupID: This field is a GUID that groups together all the related files, as well as the metadata of these files. GroupID is system-generated, and is the same for all the files in the same suite.
    • NumberOfMediasInGroup: This field represents the sum of the MP4 files and JPG files currently in a group (suite).

GroupID “ties” all related files together, while NumberOfMediasInGroup represents the number of files in each group. Together, these two fields provide additional information related to upload chunks, and ensure that no file is lost in the event of network failure during file uploads. This enhancement corresponds to HS-2708.

SSO Login Changes

Version 2.3.4.03 introduces the following changes for Single Sign-On (SSO) login instances:

      • For emergency login as well as regular login, the partnerID is logged in the .l files of MP4 files as well as JPG files
      • For emergency login as well as regular login, the partnerID is logged in the .a files of MP4 files as well as JPG files

This enhancement corresponds to HS-2805.

Emergency Login Changes

Version 2.3.4.03 introduces the following changes to the emergency login session:

      • During an emergency login session to the Focus H1 system, the evidence (videos and snapshots) that is created is associated to the emergency login officer. The Focus H1 system automatically logs out at the end of the emergency login session.
      • Evidence created during the emergency login session is re-assigned to the next officer that logs in to the Focus H1 system.

This enhancement corresponds to HS-2802.

Fixed Issues

This section describes the issues fixed in firmware version 2.3.4.03.

Issue Description
HS-2272Encrypted videos from the Focus X1 BWC played on the Focus H1 system before they could be transferred to the Focus H1 system. However, after transferring the videos to the Focus H1 system, the encrypted videos could not be played (on the Focus H1 system).
HS-2777The Focus H1 system would immediately power off after the turning off the ignition.
HS-2800Sometimes, the crash sensor of the Focus H1 system triggered recordings even if the Focus H1 system was stationary (such as on a bench).
HS-2806Recordings were not triggered on the Focus H1 system running firmware version 2.3.0.06, despite the vehicle having crossed the GPS Speed to Trigger Recording (MPH) speed.
HS-2810The .a file of videos would occasionally only capture values for the following parameters:
  • start_dttm

  • end_dttm

  • dsmedia
HS-2830On the Active Alarms screen, active alarms only opened after tapping them multiple times.
HS-2859JPG files transferred from Focus X1 BWCs to the Focus H1 system had the file_name field empty in the respective .a files.
HS-2861During the transfer of evidence from Focus X1 BWCs to the Focus H1 system, the Focus H1 system stopped responding, and the following message displayed on the Upload screen:
Recovering
Please Wait

Known Issues

This section describes the known issues in firmware version 2.3.4.03.

Issue Description
HS-2210Sometimes, a brief gray screen appears while extracting a failsafe video.
HS-2309When multiple USB ports of the H1 system are in use, and the H1 system is powered on, the following message is incorrectly displayed on the H1 Monitor:
Audio Source Not Present
HS-2483The H1 system cannot connect to 5.4 GHz access points if the Wi-Fi passwords contain special characters.
HS-2498When the NTP protocol is used to synchronize time, the time displayed on the H1 Monitor is not identical to the time displayed on https://www.time.gov/
HS-2605When videos recorded by Focus X1 BWCs are transferred to the H1 system, metadata created using FMA is not saved to the associated .a files.
HS-2618The Live View screen briefly appears before the second officer logs on at the time of switching officers.
HS-2631When a camera previously connected to the H1 system is unplugged after an officer logs on, the Live View screen continues to display a static image of the last camera view.
HS-2649The values represented by Total Capacity and Available Disk Space under Storage Information are not identical.
HS-2705Videos do not appear in the ICV Video list, but are physically present in the cobanvideos folder.
Recommendation: Do not power down the H1 system immediately after recording a video.
Workaround:
  • Update the video event after it is uploaded to Command Center.

    -OR-
    Cut the video event from failsafe and upload again.
HS-2888The H1 system log file names are prefixed with the serial number of the H1 system.
HS-2889When the password to the Wi-Fi network that the H1 system uses for upload contains special characters, only one camera button is displayed on the H1 home screen even though the H1 system is configured to work with two cameras.
HS-2894The H1 system cannot upload evidence to DES via a Wi-Fi network. This only happens when FocusView is connected to the H1 system via ethernet.
HS-2895When Pre Event Recording Time (0-300 sec) in the H1 template of Command Center is set to any value greater than 60 (seconds), the H1 system does not record pre-event video.
