Opsys Releases Major Firmware Update Focused on Usability, Transparency, and True On-Sensor Perception
12th February 2026. San Jose, Ca, USA. Opsys today announced the release of its latest firmware for the ALTOS™ family of intelligent LiDAR sensors. This update delivers meaningful improvements in usability, installation efficiency, and system transparency, while reinforcing Opsys’ leadership in true on-sensor perception for security and infrastructure applications.
The release is built around a simple goal: make advanced LiDAR perception easier to deploy, easier to verify, and easier to operate without compromising capability.
A central addition in this firmware is a new embedded viewer designed specifically to support installation and calibration. Available to all Opsys customers, the viewer provides instant visual feedback during setup, allowing installers to quickly align the sensor, confirm coverage, and assess point-cloud quality in real time.
The embedded viewer enables rapid sensor alignment and field-of-view verification and visual confirmation of point-cloud density and quality. This means faster commissioning and less guesswork so installation is faster as it has a clearer verification.
The firmware also introduces an updated Web GUI. The improved GUI offers operational transparency with a cleaner interface and more intuitive workflows. Common tasks such as configuration, calibration, and status review are now faster and more accessible, reducing training requirements and deployment time.
Additional system-level enhancements include expanded sensor health and status information for real-time operational visibility; system information download, enabling one-click export of logs, configuration, and diagnostics for commissioning, troubleshooting, and support
These updates simplify fleet management and support proactive maintenance in large-scale deployments.
This firmware release also includes ongoing enhancements to the Opsys on-board perception system, building on the platform’s foundation of object-level intelligence at the edge.
Opsys perception includes full object detection, tracking, and classification; persistent object identities over time; volumetric zone logic, dwell time, direction, and behavior-based events and motion detection as an input, not the final output.
This true on-sensor object tracking and classification enables reliable intrusion detection, access control logic, and safety applications—without reliance on external servers, GPUs, or analytics software.
The design of the ALTOS means a lower total cost of ownership. By performing perception directly on the sensor, Opsys eliminates the need for external compute, high-bandwidth data streams, and additional software licenses. Combined with true solid-state LiDAR hardware, this architecture delivers both lower upfront cost and lower lifetime operating cost (the MTBF is over ten years.
Fewer false alarms, simpler installation, and minimal maintenance translate directly into reduced operational overhead.
This firmware release reflects how Opsys sensors are deployed in practice: by integrators who need fast commissioning, predictable behavior, and scalable performance across critical environments.
With improved usability, instant installation feedback, and industry-leading embedded perception, Opsys continues to build for real-world deployment. Contact us to learn how ALTOS is defining what practical, at-the-edge intelligence should look like.
