OpenEye Server Software Releases
OpenEye's software release process offers a structured approach to accessing different versions of OpenEye Web Services (OWS) server software. This process offers flexibility in ensuring that all users can access and manage their device's software according to their specific needs, making it easier to keep your systems up to date and identify which software versions and features are available for a given OWS recorder or cloud camera model.
Recommended Release
The software version that is recommended for a specific model or generation of device. Most users are recommended to use this release version. This is also the version used for devices shipping new from the factory and recommended for recovering devices in the field.
NOTE: The recommended release version will often differ by model or generation of device.
Optional Release
The optional software version available for a specific model or generation of device. Optional Releases include new features or functions not yet available in the Recommended Release. Not all devices will have an Optional Release, and some available features may be license or device type restricted.
NOTE: A device updated to the Optional Version cannot be rolled back to the Recommended Version.
Beta Release
A prerelease software version made available to provide early access to a specific feature or resolve a bug impacting a limited number of users. This version may be restricted to a specific license type or only a small subset of supported device models. This version is not recommended for mission critical devices.
NOTE: A device updated to a Beta version cannot be rolled back to previous versions.
The Recommended and Optional releases are available by default when editing device policies through automatic software updates. If you wish to access the Beta release, please contact your account administrator or sales representative. Additionally, please be aware that some versions may not be displayed depending on your hardware capabilities.
