Wavestore v6.42: Smarter Video Management Through Automation and Deep Integration

Wavestore Stand: 5/K125
New WV2 Onvif G, M, S, T compliant cameras

Unlock the full potential of Wavestore v6.42—discover what's next in intelligent video management.

Introducing Wavestore v6.42, our latest VMS release focused on simplifying security workflows, automating maintenance, and deepening integration with third-party technologies. Designed to meet the evolving needs of security professionals, v6.42 enhances system flexibility, reduces administrative effort, and supports smarter, more connected environments.

The Importance of Video Management in a Connected Security Landscape
Video management systems are more than just tools for viewing surveillance footage—they are central to effective situational awareness, operational insight, and coordinated responses. As security ecosystems become more integrated and demands for real-time data rise, VMS platforms must be robust, flexible, and open to innovation. Wavestore v6.42 is built with these goals in mind. This latest version introduces powerful new features that reduce downtime, improve interoperability, and ensure that every part of your video surveillance system works harder for you.

Automatic Camera Updates: Reducing Downtime, Increasing Efficiency
Wavestore v6.42 introduces automatic camera firmware and software updates directly from the server, currently supported exclusively for our Wavestore Vision 2 (WV2) camera range. This targeted support ensures seamless maintenance and optimal performance for our cameras, reducing downtime and manual intervention for operators. By tightly integrating this feature with the launch of the WV2 range, we provide a streamlined, reliable update process that keeps your cameras running the latest software without disrupting live surveillance.

Wavestore Vision 2 Camera Range Compliance: Supporting ONVIF S, M, T, and G Profiles
Our Wavestore Vision 2 cameras now fully support ONVIF Profiles S, M, T, and G. This improved compliance ensures seamless interoperability with a wide range of ONVIF-compliant devices and systems. It opens the door to more versatile deployments for operators and reduces setup complexity for integrators. For security managers, this translates into consistent, reliable performance and greater confidence in multi-brand environments.

To make planning even easier, we’ve launched the new Camera Quote landing page on our website. Simply select the type and quantity of Wavestore Vision 2 cameras you need, submit your request and our team will promptly provide a tailored quote. It’s a fast, hassle-free way to start your next project with confidence.

Virtual Server Enhancements: Adapting to Modern IT Environments
Wavestore v6.42 brings new enhancements to our virtual server offering, including compliance with ONVIF Profile S. These updates support flexible, cloud-aligned deployment strategies, enabling virtualization without compromising functionality. This makes it easier for IT and security teams to scale, segment, or centrally manage systems across locations. It's an ideal option for organizations looking to future-proof their infrastructure while maintaining complete control.

Driving New Integrations Through Partnerships: Innovating at Scale
Wavestore v6.42 supports advanced scale integration—linking video feeds with real-time data from weight measurement systems for enhanced operational oversight. This capability underscores our commitment to solving real-world challenges through technology. Our integration supports bespoke hotel systems, where cameras monitor scales to capture the weight of cases, providing enhanced operational oversight and asset management. These achievements are made possible by our collaborative approach. Through partnerships with leading vendors, Wavestore continues to develop forward-thinking solutions that connect video with business-critical data, driving innovation where it matters most.

 
Joystick Integration with 3Dconnexion: Elevating Control Precision
Version 6.42 also introduces integration with the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse—offering operators a new level of control precision and ergonomic performance when navigating live and recorded footage. Designed with advanced input mechanics and smooth navigation capabilities, this joystick is ideal for control room professionals who demand fluid, intuitive interaction with their VMS interface. This integration empowers operators to streamline video review and improve reaction times during live incidents, especially in complex or multi-screen monitoring environments. With support for customizable functions, users can fine-tune the device to their specific workflow needs—transforming day-to-day control into a seamless experience.

Break Lock Function: Regain Access with Ease
A subtle but essential upgrade in v6.42 is the new Break Lock function, designed to solve a common challenge for administrators and multi-user environments. Previously, if a user left the setup screen open and unattended, other users were unable to access or manage settings without intervention. With Break Lock, administrators can now override and regain access instantly. This feature ensures that system access is never bottlenecked, empowering teams to maintain uninterrupted management of critical settings. It's a practical solution that improves efficiency, especially in fast-paced environments where multiple users rely on shared workstations or concurrent access.

Advanced License Plate Recognition Integration with Dahua Cameras
Wavestore v6.42 integrates seamlessly with Dahua license plate recognition (LPR) cameras, enabling operators to monitor license plates live during events and perform fast retrospective searches using metadata capable of handling millions of number plates with ease. This powerful functionality enhances access control, traffic management, and incident investigation. Operators gain speed and accuracy in vehicle logging, while integrators can deliver fully automated solutions with minimal configuration.
