Wavestore announces the release of Wavestore v6.42, the latest iteration of its open-platform video management system (VMS), delivering deeper automation, enriched third-party integrations, and enhanced flexibility for modern security environments.

Featuring automatic camera updates, an immediate Break Lock override, precision control via 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse, a new SDK for partners, expanded ONVIF compliance and virtual server support, plus specialised integrations with real-time weight measurement systems and Dahua LPR cameras, v6.42 empowers security professionals to streamline workflows, maximise uptime and unlock actionable insights.

The release underscores Wavestore’s commitment to simplifying security operations through intelligent automation and open integration, ensuring each component of the surveillance ecosystem works harder and smarter.

New WV2 camera range with ONVIF S, M, T & G Profile Support

Interoperability remains at the heart of Wavestore’s open philosophy

Interoperability remains at the heart of Wavestore’s open philosophy, which is why v6.42 extends support for ONVIF Profiles S, M, T and G across WV2 cameras.

This comprehensive compliance simplifies multi-vendor deployments and ensures consistent performance, no matter which third-party devices are in use.

Automatic camera updates for WV2 range

Keeping cameras patched and secure can be a constant drain on resources, so v6.42 introduces seamless firmware and software updates directly from the server for Wavestore Vision 2 (WV2) cameras.

By automating maintenance tasks, security teams eliminate manual update chores, reduce downtime and guarantee every camera runs the latest, most secure build—without ever interrupting live monitoring.

Break lock function for uninterrupted access

Configuration bottlenecks in multi-admin environments are a thing of the past thanks to the new Break Lock feature.

Administrators can instantly override unattended setup screens, preventing any single workstation from halting progress and ensuring continuous, reliable access to system controls even when teammates step away.

3Dconnexion SpaceMouse integration

v6.42 delivers full support for the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse joystick

When every second counts, precision matters. v6.42 delivers full support for the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse joystick, allowing operators to pan, tilt and zoom with fluid, ergonomic control.

Customisable functions on the device accelerate incident response, reduce operator fatigue and simplify complex multi-screen video review workflows.

New SDK for technology partners

To help integrators and developers keep pace with evolving security needs, Wavestore has unveiled a brand-new SDK.

Technology partners can now build bespoke alerts, tighter event workflows and custom analytics modules directly into the VMS, creating unified solutions that grow alongside each customer’s unique requirements.

Virtual server enhancements for cloud-aligned deployments

With cloud and hybrid architectures becoming standard, v6.42 brings ONVIF Profile S compatibility to Wavestore’s virtual server.

IT and security teams can now scale their VMS across multiple sites within virtualised environments, enjoying centralised management, enhanced resilience, and cost-effective growth without sacrificing any functionality.

Dahua LPR camera integration

v6.42 offers seamless integration with Dahua LPR cameras, supporting live plate monitoring

License-plate data is now more accessible than ever: v6.42 offers seamless integration with Dahua LPR cameras, supporting live plate monitoring and lightning-fast retrospective searches across millions of metadata records.

This powerful combination speeds up incident investigations and automates access control workflows, helping security teams act with confidence and speed.

Integration with real-time weight measurement systems

For industries where weight data is mission-critical—such as logistics, manufacturing, and retail—v6.42 links live video streams with case-weight measurements.

This integration delivers a single pane of operational oversight, enabling teams to verify loading accuracy, investigate discrepancies and drive efficiency with data-rich video evidence.

Dahua Technology Ltd case studies

Dahua Technology joined hands with partners to provide seamless LED displays in The Netherlands

About a year and a half ago, Peter de Jong introduced Dahua to Fred Koks, General Manager of KITT Engineering.  Since then, Dahua, KITT Engineering and Ocean Outdoor have completed five joint projects together. Follow-up appointments for the next two projects are already scheduled. "Let's see what happens," was Fred's reaction when introduced to Dahua. ''We evaluate our portfolio with suppliers every year,'' he explained. “We have to. So much is changing and new technology is develo...

Dahua highlights some of the campus applications of implementing AI technology in schools

AI is empowering a new generation of advanced, efficient security systems. In the field of education, AI is also facilitating the digital and intelligent upgrading of schools and institutions from K12 to universities. AI applications such as smart identification, deep learning and intelligent analysis greatly reduce manpower costs, while improving the security level and management efficiency at the same time. AI-enabled innovative teaching methods can help enhance engagement in both remote and...

Dahua takes the lead in bringing advanced security technology to Antarctica

Antarctica is the Earth’s southernmost and least populated continent. It holds the world record for the lowest temperature ever measured: −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F). To help cover different scientific bases in the Argentine region of Antarctica, Dahua Technology has donated 15 security cameras specially developed to handle the harsh weather conditions in the “white continent”. These devices enable 24-hour footage, increase contact and connectivity with scientists...
