HTTPS is becoming a minimum in higher security deployments and unfortunately HTTPS needs to be enabled in Milestone after the camera is already added to the VMS. Doing this manually takes at minimum 5 step per camera but can take much more depending on how your system is organized. We wanted to make it easier for you to secure your cameras with HTTPS. The new version of The Boring Toolbox now adds the following:
We added HTTPS to the camera report in a previous version in preparation for this new update. So now, once you update your cameras with HTTPS, you can report on this and audit which cameras your missed and which still need HTTPS applied to them. This field is reported on by default now.
You can now search for cameras, in all tabs, by partial IP address (or subnet). You will need to provide at least 7 characters inclusive of dots (.) for it to trigger the partial IP search. This is amazingly useful if you misnamed something or if you want to apply settings in bulk by subnet.
Improved tree rendering on medium systems (1000+).
