ChangeLog 5.0.5 (January 8th 2016)
- Added Dahua and Hikvision support
- Made the web interface more mobile friendly
- Malformed jpeg frames reaching ContaCam are now not stopping it from running (thanks to Mark P for reporting the problem and helping find the bug)
- Added crash dump support and verbose diagnostic logging
- If no attachment is selected the motion detection email is sent really fast (before it was only sent when the detection storing was done)
- Configurable minimum time between motion detection email messages
- Removed the possibility to email jpeg snapshots on motion detection as it rarely catches what's moving. The Small Video (animated gif) is by far better suited as it really shows the movement (if its size is too small then adjust that under Save Small Video - Thumbnail Size)
