Release Notes 12.1.359
22 Jun 2026
A release with some real weight to it. Several headline features landing together, a thoughtful enhancement that keeps your AI usage in view, and the kind of small fixes that quietly smooth out everyday rough edges.
What's New
-
DICOM Medical Image Redaction: Medical imaging just pulled up a chair at the redaction table. Upload an X-ray, CT, MRI, or ultrasound, and VIDIZMO goes looking for protected health information in both of its favorite hiding spots: the header tags that describe the study, and the text burned right into the image itself. It redacts both in a single pass and hands you back a valid DICOM file that still opens in any standard viewer. It's the same automatic and on-demand processing you already run on PDFs and Word files, just taught the quirks that make DICOM, well, DICOM. Learn more: Understanding DICOM Processing in VIDIZMO.
-
Face and Object Recognition for Live Surveillance: Your cameras can finally tell you who, not just what. Enroll the people or objects you care about, and the moment a live feed spots a match, the alert puts a name to the face right next to the detection. It all happens in real time on the same camera feeds you're already watching, and each portal's enrolled gallery stays locked to that portal. Detection still flags the strangers. Now the regulars get a proper hello.
-
Snapshots on Every Alert: No more opening a camera just to ask, "wait, what tripped that?" The instant a detection fires, VIDIZMO grabs a snapshot, and that picture tags along everywhere the alert turns up: the live player event feed (hover for a zoomed-in look), the operator dashboard, and the alert email itself. No snapshot handy? The views shrug and carry on, nothing breaks. One glance and you're caught up.
-
Search and Triage for Live Surveillance Alerts: When alerts start piling up, the real trick is finding the ones that matter. The new Alert Summary report lets you search and filter every fired alert across your cameras, see how activity is trending against the stretch before it, and slice the numbers by detection class, camera, and site. Jump straight to it from the operator dashboard, and when it's time to share the story, export the charts and go.
-
Plot Cameras and Content on a Geo Map: See your cameras and content where they actually live. A new map view plots geo-tagged items on an interactive map by location and loads only what's in view as you pan and zoom, so even items scattered across sites stay quick to browse. Zoom out and nearby items huddle into clusters with a count. Zoom in and each one gets its own marker, with cameras showing current status and a feed you can open right there on the map. Flip between clusters and media or media only. Since it runs on plain geographic coordinates, it plots any geo-tagged content, not just cameras. You'll find the map view in the media library and on the cameras page.
-
Live Stream Start Reminders: Scheduled a live stream? Your audience won't space on it this time. Set a reminder window when you schedule the stream and pick who should get the nudge, and VIDIZMO emails them before you go live, calendar invite (.ics) tucked inside. Viewers can also raise their own hand with a "Remind me before it starts" toggle on any upcoming live. Reminders only go out when the host actually sets a reminder time, so nothing fires off on its own.
-
Portal Masking: Privacy gets its own set of controls. Mask sensitive visitor details by truncating, hashing, replacing them with a fixed value, or dropping them entirely. Tracking stays on by default, so existing portals carry on unchanged until you decide otherwise. Your security controls aren't affected either: geo-location restriction and IP blacklisting keep working off the real address, so masking never quietly switches off a safeguard.
Enhancements
- Keeping tabs on AI usage no longer means a trip to Consumption Reports. The chatbot now shows how many tokens each answer cost, right there in the conversation, with a small running tally tucked into a footer under every prompt. Watch the meter as you chat.
Bug Fixes
-
Some sharing and permission checks were resolving access incorrectly, letting the wrong people through or blocking the right ones. The checks have been straightened out, so access lands with exactly who it should, like a guest list that finally matches the door.
-
Searching across PII-redacted content was missing results, and exporting from those results failed. Both now work: search reaches that content cleanly, and exports go through without tripping over themselves.
-
The media listing and detail views had gotten cluttered, with elements crowding in and spacing drifting off. The layouts have been cleaned up so everything sits where it should and has room to breathe again.
-
Adding a tag to content would sometimes fail to complete. Tags now apply cleanly every time, no second attempt needed.
-
Opening or exporting a deeply nested collection could time out or run out of memory, because the app crawled the entire tree fetching every child. Child items now resolve one level at a time, with a guard against loops, so even large nested collections open and export without the drama.
-
PII detection would crash when a file's text scan came back empty. Empty results are now handled gracefully, so detection shrugs and carries right on.
