What's new in Yucca 0.8.0

03.03.2023

Archive on motion detection (archive on-motion)​

archive-on-motion_2

This feature saves disk space, since the archive is only written when the camera reports motion detected in frame. We always keep a bit of data in a buffer, so recording actually starts a few seconds before the notification from the camera arrives.

archive-on-motion_1

Live streams on demand (live on-demand)​

This feature connects to the camera only while it's being watched. When you leave the view, the stream goes into a paused state. This can be useful for saving traffic on cameras with cellular-only network access, or in public streams embedded on your site.

liveOnDemand

💰 Managing camera access in user settings​

💰 Available only in Enterprise

You can now grant camera access both in the stream's settings and in the user's settings.

acl_in_user

Server and stream event log in the UI​

Debugging issues with a stream or the server itself just got easier — no more need to SSH into the console and remember the command for viewing server logs 🙃. By default, the last 50 messages are shown, but the count can be adjusted with the log_buffer_size option. self_logs_1

P.S.: sudo journalctl -o short -n 50 -f -u yucca

💰 Personal tokens​

💰 Available only in Enterprise

We published this feature earlier, but it only made it into the interface now. This is useful for anyone building automation, billing integration, or other interactions with the API.

tokens

💰 Direct link and autoplay option for public streams​

💰 Available only in Enterprise

new_shared_stream

We expanded the list of supported systems to cover more older GNU/Linux releases. Here's the list of systems Yucca is now guaranteed to run on:
