Austin, TX – June 16, 2026 – Salient Systems announces the general availability of CompleteView v8.0, a major platform release delivering Enhanced Search for forensic video investigation and the Hardware Replacement Wizard to simplify server replacement. Alongside the release, Salient also highlighted a significantly expanded technology partner ecosystem, reinforcing its commitment to open, flexible video management solutions.
CompleteView v8.0 addresses two of the most time-intensive challenges security teams face: locating relevant footage during an investigation and replacing failed hardware with minimal operational disruption. Alongside the release, Salient also highlighted continued ecosystem momentum, including an expanded integration ecosystem and 52 newly certified camera models across FLIR, Vicon, RealLink, Bosch, and Axis platforms.
Enhanced Search is the headline capability of CompleteView v8.0, purpose-built for investigators who need to move fast. Using a simple When, Where, What workflow, investigators can search by person appearance, clothing, vehicle type, or color across their entire camera network, with results returned in seconds and one-click access to relevant matching footage. Metadata retention is automatically tied to existing camera video retention policies, so there is nothing additional to configure or manage.
The Hardware Replacement Wizard simplifies replacing recording servers whether it is due to a hardware failure or a planned refresh. It confirms that the new hardware is ready, pushes the full configuration automatically, and stops the process if anything isn’t right, protecting systems from partial or broken states.
CompleteView v8.0 is available now to all customers. Customers can download the release and access migration resources through the MySalient portal.
