2026.25 Release notes

FususDETECT security monitoring widget sunset notice

The fususDETECT security monitoring widget will no longer be available from the Fusus dashboard, along with the Appliance Monitoring link under fususCore appliances. Your Core devices remain fully protected — regular software patching and your agency's existing network security controls continue to apply, unchanged.

Features and enhancements

On 8/3/26, the Axon Fusus Team will enable DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) for all regions.

What this means: DNSSEC protects against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks, where an attacker forges DNS responses to redirect users to malicious servers. With DNSSEC turned on, your devices can confirm the address information they're getting is genuine, not faked.

Why it matters: Without this protection, an attacker can secretly redirect you to a malicious server instead of the real one. Turning on DNSSEC prevents this, so your devices and network can only connect to our services using address information that's been verified as authentic.

This is a security upgrade we're rolling out across our infrastructure.

For our official DNSSEC guide please visit https://www.axon.com/help/fusus/software/fusus/dnssec/dnssec-guide.htm. If you need further assistance, contact [email protected] with the following information:

  • The network/location where the test failed

  • The DNS resolver(s) in use (e.g., ISP default, internal resolver, 8.8.8.8, etc.)

  • Any error messages or timeouts observed

We're available to help you validate your configuration before 8/3/26 so there is no disruption when DNSSEC is enabled.

Bug fixes and maintenance

ALPR filtering regression fix

Fixed an issue where alerts from license plate reader (LPR) hits weren't appearing for users who hadn't yet customized their ALPR alert filters. LPR alerts now display by default until you make a specific filter selection.

Boundary edits apply instantly

Fixed an issue where changes to an alert boundary did not take effect until the page was manually refreshed. Boundary edits now apply immediately within the current session.

Floor filter for docked camera fix

“Dock nearby cameras” now respects the alert’s floor, showing only cameras on that floor when available.

Device icon fix

Fixed an issue where Outpost and Lightpost device icons were incorrectly displayed as body-worn camera (BWC) icons when the map was zoomed out. Fixed-camera devices are now represented with the correct cluster icon, making it easier to distinguish device types at a glance.

2026.24 Release notes

Bug fixes and maintenance

ALPR plate image load fix
Fixed an issue where plate images sometimes failed to load on ALPR alerts, due to an expired authentication token not being refreshed automatically.

 

Token refresh fix

Fixed an issue where ALPR alerts from Fleet 3 vehicles in Fusus were missing source vehicle info and map location markers.

2026.23 Release notes

Features and enhancements

Improved livestream messaging for SLDP streams.

Users are now clearly informed when a poor connection may affect video quality.

 

Hotlist management

Users can now view and manage hotlists directly in Axon Fusus. From the new hotlist view, users can see which hotlists are active, what type they are, and whether they are configured to route alerts. Search, sort, and filter options make it faster to find records within a hotlist. Hotlists were previously managed in Evidence.com. With this update, users can manage them in Fusus as well. Both systems use the same source of truth, so changes made in one system appear in the other.

 

Users can now:

  • Upload a hotlist.

  • Edit hotlist alert settings.

  • Add a plate to a custom hotlist.

  • Search for a plate within a hotlist.

  • Receive alerts matched against a hotlist.

 

VAR Toggle now available

Introducing a new admin control for managing VAR Inference — the AI model that enriches LPR records by filling in missing or low-confidence attributes like vehicle color, make, and model. Available in all regions, excluding CA1.

  • Agencies can now turn VAR Inference on or off based on their compliance needs.

Bug fixes and maintenance

ALPR alerts populated

Fixed an issue where plate images sometimes failed to load on ALPR alerts, due to an expired authentication token not being refreshed automatically.

 

Enabled rules no longer greyed-out

Fixed an issue where an alert rule that was re-enabled continued to display with a disabled (greyed-out) appearance until the page was refreshed.

 

ALPR hotlist filter behavior

Updated ALPR hotlist filters so that leaving all hotlist filters unselected filters out matching ALPR alerts, instead of behaving like all filters were selected.
