- Dated release: On-Premises v1.7, August 2026.
- Choose the upgrade path from the installed version.
- Test streams, integrations and operations.
What DJI announced
DJI’s August 18, 2026 v1.7 announcement describes improved multi-core streaming and an expanded OpenAPI with more than 300 endpoints. It distinguishes the adjacent v1.6-to-v1.7 incremental upgrade from upgrades spanning multiple versions.
Treat these as dated manufacturer release details. Performance depends on the deployed resources, and a larger API catalog does not itself establish that a particular integration exists.

Inventory the installed environment
Record the current version, server resources, connected devices, integrations and the operational workflows that must continue. Identify who owns the change and who will accept the restored service.
Check current manufacturer upgrade instructions against that inventory. Do not choose an incremental path simply because it sounds faster. Backups and recovery steps belong to the actual deployment method.
Test operations as well as installation
| Test | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|
| Access and roles | Expected users can access only their required functions. |
| Live streams | Representative concurrency works on the allocated resources. |
| Mission and records | Existing workflow and data access remain usable. |
| Integrations | Required API behavior is verified with the connected application. |
| Recovery | Owner and documented recovery procedure are known. |
Define the commercial scope
Private deployment, cloud access, integration development and hardware are separate decisions. Ask which edition and functions the organization actually needs before estimating an implementation.
Use the release as an input to an IT review, not as a reason to change a working environment without a migration plan. Record the tested version and the accepted integration behavior so a later release has a clear baseline.
