New features in 9.50.1 ================================================================================ 9.50.1:F1 Added support for setting image frequency in action rules. 9.50.1:F2 Updated Apache to version 2.4.41 to increase overall minimum cyber security level. 9.50.1:F3 Updated OpenSSL to version 1.1.1d to increase overall minimum cyber security level. 9.50.1:F4 Updated Video Motion Detection to version 4.4.2. 9.50.1:F5 Added possibility to disable the web UI to increase overall minimum cyber security level. The web UI can be disabled under System -> PlainConfig -> System -> System Web Interface Disabled. To enable the web UI after it has been disabled, the VAPIX parameter System.WebInterfaceDisabled must be set to "no". 9.50.1:F6 Backlit Entrance scene profile introduced for more visibility of face details in entrances with strong backlight and reducing of WDR artifacts. Features in 9.40.1 ================================================================================ 9.40.1:F1 Added support for search functionality in help files. 9.40.1:F2 Updated Fence Guard to version 2.2.0. 9.40.1:F3 Updated Loitering Guard to version 2.2.0 9.40.1:F4 Added support for millisecond timestamps in JPEG header. 9.40.1:F5 Added support for systemready.cgi which will improve re-connection of the browser to the web-interface after e.g. powercyle or restart of the product. 9.40.1:F6 Added support for average bitrate control (ABR). 9.40.1:F7 Added support for automatic firmware rollback verfication. The user can chose to select this option prior to performing an firmware upgrade. When chosen, the product will perform the upgrade and then wait a pre-defined time for the user to acknowledge the upgrade in the web-interface. If not acknowledged in time, the product will rollback to its previous firmware. 9.40.1:F8 Added support for the possibility to configure a secondary NTP server in web- interface under Settings -> System -> Date & Time or via VAPIX Time API. 9.40.1:F9 Removed the root users default password in factory defaulted firmware. The password of the root user must be set first in order to initialize VAPIX and ONVIF interfaces to allow further configuration. This change only affects products in its factory defaulted state, products that are already deployed in production systems are not affected by this update until factory defaulted. For more information please see https://www.axis.com/support/faq/FAQ116429. 9.40.1:F10 Added support for uploading custom firmware certificates in the web-interface under Settings -> System -> Security in order to allow the Axis product to accept AXIS developer firmware during firmware upgrade. 9.40.1:F11 Updated Video Motion Detection to version 4.4.0. 9.40.1:F12 Updated Motion Guard to version 2.2.0. 9.30.1:F1 Added an API for mDNS-SD. 9.30.1:F2 Updated Motion Guard to version 2.1.9. 9.30.1:F3 It is now possible to upload .PFX formatted certificates with a total size of 102400 bytes. The previous limit was 1/10 of it. 9.30.1:F4 Added support for "Wait at least time x" before re-running an configured action rule. 9.30.1:F5 TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 is now disabled by default. 9.30.1:F6 Added support for source-specific multicast (SSM) via http://ip-address/axis- media/ssm/media.amp.

More information about Signed Firmware can be found here https://www.axis.com/support/faq/FAQ116424. 9.20.1:F3 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. 9.20.1:F4 Upgraded Apache to version 2.4.38 to increase overall minimum cyber security level. 9.20.1:F5 Updated Video Motion Detection to version 4.3.4. 9.20.1:F6 Updated Motion Guard to version 2.1.8. 9.20.1:F7 Updated Fence Guard to version 2.1.8. 9.20.1:F8 Updated Loitering Guard to version 2.1.8. 9.20.1:F9 Added support for signed ACAP applications. 9.10.1:F1 The following legacy VAPIX parameter have been removed due to non-usage: Network.DHCP.Fqdn Network.DHCP.IPCheckEnabled Network.DHCP.Retries Network.DHCP.StoreIPAddresseth0 Network.DHCP.StoreIPAddresseth1 Network.DHCP.Timeout 9.10.1:F2 Updated Video Motion Detection to version 4.3.3. 9.10.1:F3 Updated Motion Guard and Fence Guard to version 2.1.7. 9.10.1:F4 Updated Loitering Guard to version 2.1.7. 9.10.1:F5 Upgraded Apache to version 2.4.37 to increase overall minimum cyber security level. 9.10.1:F6 Firwmare Recovery will also rollback the previous state of applications (ACAPs) now.

Corrections in 9.40.1 ================================================================================ 9.40.1:C1 The VAPIX parameter AudioSource.A0.InputType has now "internal" as default value instead of "mic". 9.40.1:C2 Removed a unecessary warning text for a user when setting up a action rule that requires a stream profile while it is actually already in place. 9.40.1:C3 Corrected an issue that made it possible to add a action rule recipient without nice-name via API. 9.30.1:C1 Corrected an issue that makes the text overlay visible in any resolution If the text overlay is placed in the upper right, lower left or lower right corner. 9.30.1:C2 Corrected an issue that prevented the user from exporting recordings when the camera was configured to Alaska timezone. 9.30.1:C3 Corrected an issue that prevented the user to play recordings as a viewer. 9.30.1:C4 Extended the charater limits for query string suffix in action rules in order to allow for longer URLs. 9.20.1:C1 Corrected an issue that could cause the camera to get unresponsive when two clients are streaming over multicast using the same streaming parameters. 9.10.1:C1 Corrected an issue that resets the barrel distortion correction settings after updating the camera. 9.10.1:C2 Corrected an issues that could cause an incorrect error message when testing HTTP recipient. 9.10.1:C3 Increased the character limit for certificate IDs from 32 to 128 characters. 9.10.1:C4 Corrected an issue that caused RTSP client timeout to be delayed. 9.10.1:C5 Corrected an issue that caused an HTTP-recipient based action rule to fail when the response from the server excluded the textual phrase (Example: HTTP 200). This will work now. 9.10.1:C6 Corrected an issue that caused image quality degradation when a snapshot was taken via VAPIX. 9.10.1:C7 Corrected an issue that caused the temperature information delivered via SNMP OID to be corrupted. Known Bugs/Limitations ================================================================================ 9.40.1:L1 There might be event settings available that is not applicable to the product with the current setup. 9.30.1:L1 There might be features currently explained in the help files that may not be supported by the camera. 9.10.1:L1 It is recommended to perform firmware recovery to rollback the products firmware to a previous version. Downgrading the products firmware through the usual firmware upgrade process can cause configuration and ACAP loss. It is recommended to perform a factory default afterwards. 9.10.1:L2 Parts of the privacy mask may become invisible in rare occasions during configuration. If this happens, please try to modify the mask slightly. 9.10.1:L3 If using any of following analytics VMD/CLD/DAT/Guard Suite (Motion, Fence & Loitering) together with view areas and digital PTZ, the detection is offset and therefore will give an inaccurate detection.
