Why should you test this trial?
We are introducing a completely new Android encoder app that reinvents our Android offering by:
Completely overhauled user interface
We've looked at everything - a simplified first-run experience, a streamlined setup process, and a cut-down and modernised menu system for configuration.RTSP camera support
In addition to built-in camera and USB cameras, you can now use standard IP cameras (or any RTSP source) with your Android encoder - simply provide the app a standard RTSP URL.
Use of the latest Android libraries
We've upgraded the libraries we've used so that our handset compatibility is considerably better than the existing EdgeVis Mobile app.We've heavily optimised the app
In comparison to the existing app, the new app uses significantly less CPU/GPU and is considerably more efficient - this translates to much longer running time when running from battery.
Want to see it in action...
What do I need to test this software?
Access to EdgeVis Server v9.3 Tech Preview
This software won't work on your production v9.2 server. You'll have to either:
Self-host your own V9.3 Tech Preview server
Do not upgrade an existing v9.1/v9.2 server - this server should be disposed of after the tech preview ends.
We can provide you with access to a cloud-hosted EdgeVis Server v9.3.
For self-hosting... licences
We recommend testing with One-In-One-Out v9 licences to allow use of different output streams (for testing different video codecs or analytics).
If you've got spare One-In-One-Out v9 licences, you can use those. Once you've finished testing, you can free those up as you would normally.
Alternatively, a limited number of trial licences can be made available for a short period. You'll need to connect your server to our CLS account.
If you're using our cloud hosted EdgeVis Server, we'll take care of your licences.
How to download
Tech Preview warning!
This version has not been tested to the level of a beta or full product release. It has bugs and may crash!
Do not use this in a production environment.
You should also uninstall the existing EdgeVis Mobile app first; otherwise, you will have two apps trying to utilise the camera and save recordings.
You will install the app through the Google Play Store. This will be run using their Closed Beta program, so to use the app:
Contact support using the pink bubble at the bottom right of this page, or via email at support@edgevis.com.
Ask to join the EVVR Encoder Android programme.
You will need to supply one or more email addresses that are registered to use the Google Play Store on your desired device(s).
You will receive a link back - open this on your device to open the Play Store and download the app.

A link will become available here on November 1st to allow you to complete the feedback survey that is required to take part in this trial.
Also, any other bug reports and feedback are appreciated and can be reported via support@edgevis.com.
