A MIB is released for Axis products. See http://www.axis.com/techsup/software/index.htm for more information. 5.50.5:F16 Possibility to trigger action rules based on temperature. Corrections =========== 5.50.5:C01 When selecting 'set password over HTTPS' after a flash_all, the user will not be prompted for login. 5.50.5:C02 Webinterface and server report show the same value for wlan link quality. 5.50.5:C03 Schedule is now visible in Action rules list. 5.50.5:C04 Timezone info in the sending out email header gets updated when changing the camera 'time zone' in the webinterface. 5.50.5:C05 Privacy masks cover the parts requested by user. 5.50.5:C06 Certificate name is now present in the CA certificate dropdown list. 5.50.5:C07 Corrected EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 setting options in Wireless settings-page. 5.50.5:C08 To increase robustness, a retry of 10 seconds is added for an action rule.

Known Bugs/Limitations ====================== 5.50.5:L01 To be able to use all parts of the image in a View Area use the 4:3 Aspect Ratio for the View Area. 5.50.5:L02 90 and 270 rotation can cause a drop in frame rate. 5.50.5:L03 Private keys need to be in a PKCS#1 format in order to function when installing Certificates. 5.50.5:L04 The ipv6.class field will have the same value in all IPv6 packages. The class field value depends on the value of the DSCP setting. 5.50.5:L05 When streaming with the G726 audio codex using bitrate 24kbit/s only distorted audio is heard in the stream. The same distorted audio is heard on the camera output when sending audio to it. 5.50.5:L06 Time modifiers used in the field "Create folder" is only used upon activation of the rule, hence no new folders are created with the current time during an active rule. To have new folders created with time modifiers you should add them in the "Base filename". 5.50.5:L07 Longer connection disruptions towards the Network storage during playback of a recording from the Network storage may affect the possibilities to setup new video streaming also some time after reconnection. Ongoing live streaming will not be affected. 5.50.5:L08 To be able to seek in exported mkv recordings you need to use AXIS Matroska File Splitter, see axis.com. Files are playable both with and without AXIS Matroska File Splitter. 5.50.5:L09 SNMP OID that have been set are not kept after reboot. 5.50.5:L10 High resolution MJPEG recordings with audio and low compression may fail during export. Recommend to use H.264 or lower resolution and increase compression of the MJPEG stream. 5.50.5:L11 Unclear error message when uploading audio clip with already existing name. 5.50.5:L12 Number of different configured video streams is limited by hardware. 5.50.5:L13 I/O triggers need to be at least one second long for the device to accept the trigger. The minimum signal detection value can be changed in Plain Config for legacy support. 5.50.5:L14 When using a rotated overlay (90 or 270 degrees) and a large overlay text size simultaneously, the maximum allowed size of an overlay image is reduced to about 12 kB.
