I'm happy to announce that we have just recently released Airship 4.6. A lot of hard work went into this release, which includes some new features and numerous bug fixes.
One of the new features in 4.6 is the Scrubbing bar. In playback, while watching video, the user is now able to drag the timeline cursor across various times and see the video update as the user 'scrubs'. This feature is also available in all exported video as well, making finding something across a large time frame much easier.
In addition to Scrubbing, 4.6 also introduces the Replay Proxy. The Replay Proxy allows the client to buffer video requested on the local client machine. This will be very useful if you have a low bandwidth connection between the server and client. You can drag a camera over to view, pause the video and let the video buffer onto your client machine. Once the buffering is complete, all video you view will be played through the client machine, improving performance compared to streaming the video from the server. The buffered video is also easily identifiable on the playback time line by a thin white line.
Another major feature for 4.6 was improving disk performance on the server. In 4.6, the server should now have a noticeably higher disk performance regarding recorded video. Certain systems on the lower spectrum of hardware specifications should now be able to record higher resolutions of video without dropping frames.
There are a lot more features and fixes included in 4.6. To see a complete list and to download the latest software, click on the link below.
Give it a go and let us know your thoughts!

I have heard that it is possible to view Intergal DVRs on your Airship Client. Is this true? And if so, how?
