FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTE ======================== Products affected: Q9216-SLV Release date: 2021-11-22 Release type: Production Firmware version: 10.8.1 Preceding release: 10.8.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrade recommendations ======================== When updating the device, it is recommended to do an intermediate upgrade using an available AXIS OS LTS-release on the way to the desired AXIS OS version. For example, if the device currently is running AXIS OS 7.40 and you want to upgrade to the latest AXIS OS Active Track (Example: 10.1, October 2020) then you should do the upgrade in these steps: 7.40 => 8.40 LTS => 9.80 LTS => 10.1. More detailed recommendations can be found in the AXIS OS portal at https://www.axis.com/support/firmware. Upgrade the firmware according to the instructions given in howtoupgrade.txt, which is included in the firmware folder or according to instructions at https://www.axis.com/support/firmware.

This means that the gain values may be different in the GUI, but the actual audio level should be the same as before. 10.7.0:C9 Corrected an issue that prevented the Sound Intelligence Sound Detector ACAP to get an audio stream. 10.7.0:C10 Improved RTP timestamp accuracy for metadata streams. 10.7.0:C11 Corrected an issue that could cause an RTSP stream to stop after 60+ seconds if streamed to an openRTSP client. 10.6.0:C1 Corrected an issue that caused the Fence Guard applications to fail to install and run when the cameras date and time changed to year 19xx after a reset or factory default and no date and time was configured by the user. 10.6.0:C2 Improved Motion Detection to handle scenes with extreme lighting changes , improving general behavior for applications that make use of this engine and data. 10.6.0:C3 Corrected an issue that did not account for MTU packet fragmentation for IEEE 802.1x authentication. Previously the Axis device was not able to authenticate properly against an 802.1x network when the MTU was configured to 1410 or lower. 10.6.0:C4 Corrected an issue that on some occasions could prevent export of a part of a recording. 10.6.0:C5 Corrected an issue that in combination with some VMSes and low resolution could cause brief disconnections in the video stream. 10.5.3:C1 General improvements in streaming management. 10.5.2:C1 Corrected an issue that on some occasions prevented an upgrade to firmware version 10.5.0. 10.5.2:C2 Corrected an issue that could cause O3C-based connections with the device to be interrupted. 10.5.0:C1 Corrected an issue that caused the video over HDMI to show the stream from overview instead of the selected view area. 10.5.0:C2 Increased the number of allowed characters for event condition name to 512. 10.5.0:C3 Corrected an issue that prevented the use of some special characters in ONVIF passwords. 10.5.0:C4 Corrected an issue that prevented the Axis device to respond with HTTP 403 Forbidden when the source-ip address was blocked when using PreventDOSAttack in Plain Config -> System. Previously HTTP 401 Unauthorized was returned. 10.4.0:C1 Corrected an issue that erased the password from the MQTT broker connection settings when editing settings occasionally. This required the user to re-enter the password when this happened. 10.4.0:C2 Corrected an issue that caused the MQTT configuration in the device to get corrupt on rare occasions. 10.4.0:C3 Corrected an issue that could caused an MQTT event to be duplicated upon registering the same event multiple times. 10.4.0:C4 Updated digital input LogicalState metadata API to consistently use 0/1 on all camera models. 10.4.0:C5 Corrected an issue that caused the device to send an EPRT command when transferring an image or video via FTP instead of an EPSV command. 10.4.0:C6 Corrected an issue where a network share used as a recipient could get its properties overwritten by another network share created from the Storage page. 10.4.0:C7 Corrected an issue that required the user to re-enter the password for the user for the MQTT broker connection upon changing other MQTT settings. 10.4.0:C8 Corrected nice names for the PreventDoSAttack parameters in Settings -> System -> Plain Config-> System -> PreventDoSAttack. 10.4.0:C9 Improved Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) system stability. 10.4.0:C10 Corrected response for NTP API version. 10.3.0:C1 Corrected an issue where overlays sometimes could be placed incorrectly in the video stream. 10.3.0:C2 Added support for dynamic power allocation via Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) in addition to PoE-class based power allocation. This allows the switch to allocate less power to the camera and potentially a greater number of PoE devices can be connected to the switch. LLDP can be enabled in Settings -> System -> PlainConfig -> Network -> LLDP POE -> LLDP Send Max PoE. 10.3.0:C3 Corrected an issue that caused PKCS#12-formatted certificate uploads to fail when certain special characters were used as a password. 10.3.0:C4 Corrected text for time offset in the Date & Time web page, the offset is now shown in milliseconds instead of seconds. 10.3.0:C5 Improved video streaming stability in multi-stream- and ONVIF Audio Backchannel scenarios. 10.3.0:C6 Corrected an issue that caused the value of Quality of Service (QoS) to not be respected in always multicast mode. 10.3.0:C7 Corrected an issue that prevented the device to stream in always-multicast mode after the video stream processing has been restarted. 10.2.0:C1 Corrected an issue that caused an error message to pop-up when pressing the test button of an event using HTTP recipients. 10.2.0:C2 Corrected an issue that caused the 'last will & testament' message not to work.

Known Bugs/Limitations ================================================================================ 10.8.0:L1 On single channel products, text- and image-overlays are no longer shown for streams using overview=1. This results in that some ACAPs, like e.g. VMD and ALPS, will no longer have text- and image-overlays on their configuration pages. It also means that text- and image-overlays are not shown on the Image, Privacy Mask, and View Area tabs in the web interface if a view area is created.
