Release Notes: Live Video Alert Agent#

Version 2026.1.0#

June 17, 2026

New

  • Google ADK agentic dispatch. Alert actions are now driven by a Google ADK LlmAgent that reasons over the available tools and selects the right ones at runtime.

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration. The agent can now connect to external MCP servers and expose their tools alongside built-in tools.

  • Per-alert tool argument overrides. AlertConfig now accepts the tool_arguments field that supplies per-tool keyword-argument overrides.

  • Separate LLM OVMS service. Includes the dedicated OVMS deployment for the ADK reasoning model and a service separate from the VLM inference.

Version 1.0.0#

April 01, 2026

Live Video Alert Agent is a new sample “agentic application” that accepts live camera input and enables monitoring for up to four events on a single camera stream. Alerts are raised when the events occur, based on user-configured prompts for a VLM.

A rich UI is provided to configure various features of the application, such as the prompt capturing the event to be monitored, and provides a dashboard view of the compute and memory usage.

New

  • Initial release of Live Video Alert.

  • Live-metrics-service for CPU, GPU, and memory utilization integrated directly in the dashboard.

  • OVMS GPU support.

  • RTSP video ingestion with VLM inference (Phi-3.5-Vision, InternVL2-2B).

  • Natural language alert configuration (max 4 alerts per stream).

  • Real-time SSE event broadcasting and interactive dashboard.

  • Configurable CPU/GPU inference via TARGET_DEVICE environment variable.

  • Helm chart for Kubernetes deployment.
