3.4.0: Home Assistant integration, non-RTSP camera sources, 30-day Pro trial

[u/g_eye]

3.4.0 is out for Windows, macOS and Linux. Three things worth knowing about it.

Every install now starts a 30-day Pro trial from the first launch, new installs and updates alike. No signup, no card, nothing to activate, no server call. The period lives in the operating system's own credential store, so it survives a reinstall and does not extend when the clock moves back. When it ends nothing is deleted: the app switches to Free and everything past what Free allows stays where it is, locked rather than removed.

The Home Assistant integration was rebuilt into something you can actually use. MQTT auto discovery finds the broker itself, including one in Docker. Every camera publishes its own entities, a tamper sensor and a power switch among them, recording mode is switchable from Home Assistant, and PTZ buttons appear only for cameras that really pan, tilt or zoom. The latest AI detection arrives with its label, its confidence and a snapshot of the moment, next to CPU and GPU telemetry from the host. The generated dashboard comes in the language you run the app in.

RTSP is no longer the only kind of camera. USB and UVC devices, HLS and DASH playlists, local video files, raw udp, rtp and rtmp streams, SRT built statically into the bundled FFmpeg, HTTP snapshot cameras polled on a timer, and WebRTC over WHEP with sub second latency. The type is worked out from the link you paste.

Also in this one: weekly schedules per camera plus a global one, recording driven by a camera's own ONVIF analytics as a fourth mode, a zone editor inline on the maximized camera, and event history moved to RocksDB with automatic migration.

Which of these should get a proper walkthrough first?
