FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTES ====================== Products affected: AXIS P3301 Network Camera Release date: 2009-07-02 Release type: Production Firmware version: 5.09 File name: P3301_5_09.bin Preceding release: P3301_5_01.bin AMC version: 5.4.17.4-3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS ==================== The firmware can be upgraded using Axis Camera Management 2.0, HTTP or FTP. Please follow the instructions from the user's manual, the web page at http://www.axis.com/techsup/cam_servers/how_to_upgrade.htm or the file named howtoupgrade.txt. RELEASE 5.01 ============ 5.09 is a version to be used before upgrading to coming release 5.10 due to incompatabilities between 5.01 and 5.10, causing upgrade to fail. To ensure proper upgrade from 5.01, 5.09 should be applied first and then it's possible to upgrade to 5.10. Known limitations ================= 5.01:L01 It is not possible to use a space in the upload path for a ftp server. 5.01:L02 If IPv6 is enabled while IPv4 is disabled, the DHCP options received from IPv4 are not removed. Also there is no IPv6 address in the mail body of an SMTP test mail. 5.01:L03 The NTP implementation will not synchronize to NTP servers that signal an alarm condition (clock not synchronized) in its Leap Indicator. 5.01:L04 After changing the date/time of the camera, the video stream will stop after 60 seconds with an RTSP session time out. It does not matter if the media stream is started before or after the time is changed. Workaround: Reboot the camera after the time has been changed manually or by NTP. 5.01:L05 If an image overlay is placed at 0,0 and a text overlay is top aligned, the image overlay will be placed below the text with no cropping. 5.01:L06 Previous root password is not available after a failed ftp flash_all FW upgrade or a factory default. 5.01:L07 It is not supported to configure always multicast RTP. 5.01:L08 Support for overlays other than full color have been disabled. 5.01:L09 Finding a scene where the difference between enabled and disabled backlight compensation is clearly visible is difficult. 5.01:L10 If RTSP authentication is switched off, streaming H.264 with QuickTime and other Apple compatible clients will not work as they require authentication of the RTSP, but do not allow HTTP authentication. 5.01:L11 There is a difference between JPEG and H264 overlays and snapshots when aspect ratio correction is enabled. 5.01:L12 The image is neither mirrored nor rotated at Motion Detection page. 5.01:L13 The AXIS Media Control client may stop displaying the H.264 video stream after the PC has been locked. Workaround: Reload the Live View page. 5.01:L14 AXIS Media Control may on some client computers buffer up images which may lead to latency and use of memory. Stopping the streams will restore the memory. Workaround: The max buffer size in the AXIS Media Control can be decreased to stop that much memory from beeing allocated. 5.01:L15 A recording from AXIS Media Control sometimes gets a invalid file length written in the file header when the disk is full. Except the header file length, the file data should be correct. 5.01:L16 Stream profile names are limited to alphanumerical characters. 5.01:L17 If a tab or window with a runnning MJPEG stream is closed in Firefox 3 the stream will still be running in the background. The stream is not closed until Firefox is terminated. 5.01:L18 When using Mozilla Firefox to view MJPEG, a line might appear in the bottom half of the image when there is a lot of movement. 5.01:L19 The combination of MJPEG, AAC and multipart is not supported. 5.01:L20 We do not support full duplex for audio. 5.01:L21 With Safari on Mac OS X Leopard G711 audio stream will be very choppy. 5.00:L22 Setup of motion detection in a non-AMC environment does not work. Application Developer Information ================================= The AXIS P3301 supports AXIS VAPIX API - Application Programming Interface version 3 which has not been published yet. Backwards compatibility is maintained as far as possible, but some changes have been necessary. The following groups are still supported from the AXIS P3301 from AXIS VAPIX HTTP API specification version 2, but discrepancies may occur. For more information about version 2 please refer to AXIS VAPIX API available at www.axis.com.
