RELEASE 5.20 ============ New features ============ 5.20:F01 Added embedded AVHS (Axis Video Hosting System) client. 5.20:F02 Added ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) support including meta data streaming over RTSP/RTP.

Audio clips are created either by recording sound using the camera’s microphone or by uploading a sound file to the camera. 5.20:F05 Possibility for connecting other P-Iris lenses than the one the camera is coming with has been introduced. The following P-Iris lenses can also be used: Kowa 3.5-10mm,F1.6 (LMVZ3510M-IR) and Kowa 9-20mm,F1.6 (LMVZ9020M-IR). Modifications ============= 5.20:M01 The RSA key bit length for certificates has been increased to 2048. 5.20:M02 When video is rotated 180 degrees, motion detection configuration page will show the same orientation as Live View. Improvements since 5.06.1 ========================= 5.20:I01 Improved AMC stability and support for Windows 7. 5.20:I02 Local Storage with new features such as no limit when recording, audio, failover and continuous recording. 5.20:I03 Day/Night algorithm has been changed so that IR cut filter is now automatically switching off in low light even when Max shutter time is shorter than 1/50s. 5.20:I04 An issue with missing I-frames when using low frame rate has been corrected. 5.20:I05 Improved fine-tune focusing speed. 5.20:I06 Improvement has been made to the tampering algorithm to avoid false alarms in varying lighting conditions. A new parameter "DarkThreshold" in Plain Config has been introduced to give the user more flexibility. 5.20:I07 Corrected problem with leading spaces in email address that otherwise could cause send failure. Known limitations ================= 5.20:L01 When removing view areas, the name will be remembered and reused when creating new view areas. 5.20:L02 Specific PTZ preset does not trigger an event. Use Any Position as trigger instead. 5.20:L03 Problem downloading recordings if you fetch 15 or more at the same time. 5.20:L04 Generating crash report can take longer time. Wait for download to finish. 5.20:L05 Recordings made with an earlier firmware will not be readable on the SD Card from the 5.20 firmware. Backup important recordings and reformat the SD Card after firmware upgrade. 5.20:L06 After first registration of the camera to http://www.axiscam.net, some critical errors can be seen in the log and LED will flash, however the updates are working fine. Accessing the camera using axiscam name will get an white image. Workaround: refresh page. 5.20:L07 Removing and reinserting SD card during recording is not recommendable. 5.20:L08 Having a very large number of records (more then 15000) made in a single shot, the last page of the recording list cannot be accessed. Workaround: Restart the camera. 5.20:L09 Daylight saving time does not work for Iran. 5.20:L10 With audio enabled, the initial connection latency is increased. 5.20:L11 Remote back focus operation will be disabled when the temperature is too low. Information will be shown in system log. 5.20:L12 Selecting sensor capture mode shall be done during initial product configuration as many different settings are affected and will need to be reconfigured. Sensor capture mode affects the available resolutions and changing it in real time requires other resolution related configuration changes on the camera and possibly a recording software. For example, if a resolution that is not available for one capture mode is requested, the reply will be "bad request". 5.20:L13 To get smoother H.264 video in Live view in 3MP and HDTV highest resolution, it might be necessary to disable both "Advanced video rendering" and "Enable overlays" in the Control Panel>AXIS Media Control. 5.20:L14 Stream Profiles are not associated with any particular View area. They are profiles that can be used with any view area. The View area is not saved with the Stream Profile. 5.20:L15 Two view areas can not have guard tours with the same name. 5.20:L16 A big overlay image cannot be uploaded to the camera using Internet Explorer. Workaround: Use Firefox instead. 5.20:L17 Local recording playback fails when using Motion JPEG with resolution 2048x1536 and associated audio. Workaround: Use H.264 instead.
