FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTES ====================== Products affected: AXIS Q6032-E PTZ Dome Network Camera Release date: 2012-05-23 Release type: Production Firmware version: 5.41.1 File name: Q6032-E_5_41_1.bin Preceding release: 5.06.1 First firmware for units with P/N: 0317-00X-07 AMC version: 6.2.10.1-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS ==================== The firmware can be upgraded using Axis Camera Management, 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. New Features ============ 5.41.1:F01 Edge storage with support for CIFS/SMB (Microsoft Network share). 5.41.1:F02 ext4 file system support for SD Card. Axis recommends SD Card users to use the camera to format the SD Card with ext4 instead of the default vFAT. ext4 will increase recording reliability compared to vFAT. Note that SD Cards formatted with ext4 cannot be read by a Microsoft PC without installing additional ext4 drivers on the PC. 5.41.1:F03 The internal Event Management system has been redesigned and VAPIX has been extended with a new Event-API based on Web-Services. Utask has been removed and with that the possibility to start scripts and applications from user.task.list. The legacy user action rules in the camera will continue to work but will not be visible in the camera user interface unless converted to the new design. Event Management user interface (GUI) has been redesigned. For more information please see User's manual. 5.41.1:F04 Always Multicast. Provides the ability to multicast video regardless of whether clients access the streams or not. 5.41.1:F05 ONVIF 1.02 support. 5.41.1:F06 Server Report download. Possibility to download a ZIP-file server report (with or without camera snapshot). This simplifies the process of attaching the server report when submitting a support ticket. 5.41.1:F07 Storage Management 1. Clean up policy is enabled by default and the default value for the parameter is 1 week. 2. Parameter for clean up level is in the Plain Config and default is set at approximately 90% of the storage device capacity. 3. The start time of a recording is updated when data is removed due to clean up policy. 5.41.1:F08 Added LLDP support. 5.41.1:F09 Axis Camera Application Platform (ACAP) enabling third party developers (ADP partners) to develop, download and run their applications on Axis products is included. 5.41.1:F10 Added embedded AVHS (Axis Video Hosting System) client. 5.41.1:F11 Added support for 802.1x. 5.41.1:F12 Recorded tour added. This means the possibility to record a movement pattern that can be used as a guard tour. 5.41.1:F13 The number of privacy masks is increased from 8 to 32 5.41.1:F14 Open Casing Detection 5.41.1:F15 Support for new hardware revision Corrections in 5.41.1 since 5.06.1 ================================== 5.41.1:C01 Web services parameter is removed and thus status from the System Overview as well. ONVIF is enabled by specifying an ONVIF administrator in the Security -> ONVIF settings. 5.41.1:C02 RTP over RTSP over HTTP with other than default http port works as expected. 5.41.1:C03 It is no longer necessary to restart the camera after configuring default router parameter via VAPIX. 5.41.1:C04 Improved camera responsiveness. 5.41.1:C05 Configuration of time zone for Australia appears correctly in the web interface. 5.41.1:C06 It is possible to use HTTPS and port forwarding. 5.41.1:C07 Up to 127 characters can be used in the 'From email address' field. 5.41.1:C08 The image is shown correctly rotated in the Motion Detection page. 5.41.1:C09 Test mail will have a correct body with IPv6 address even when IPv4 is disabled. 5.41.1:C10 Double & are no longer present in HTTP notification. The Action rule gives a valid URI. 5.41.1:C11 Improved SD card performance 5.41.1:C12 A running guardtour will no longer be interrupted if another guardtour is removed. Known Bugs/Limitations ====================== 5.41.1:L01 In PAL version, a black vertical line with several pixels wide is visible at the right edge of the image. It is not possible to remove with the X offset parameter. 5.41.1:L02 Maximum brightness will not result in a white image. 5.41.1:L03 Auto tracking might be confused when the IR cut filter is turned on/off. 5.41.1:L04 Pan/tilt coordinate directions presented in the text overlay (#x #y) will not be rotated along with the image when rotation is 180. 5.41.1:L05 The NTP implementation will not synchronize to NTP servers that signal an alarm condition (clock not synchronized) in its Leap Indicator. 5.41.1:L06 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. 5.41.1:L07 There is no boundary check when entering a motion detection window name. If the name is more than 1024 charachters long, the parhand application may restart. 5.41.1:L08 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. 5.41.1:L09 AXIS Media Control client may stop displaying the H.264 video stream after the PC has been locked. Workaround: Reload the Live View page. 5.41.1:L10 When setting up a guardtour with Random view order it will ignore Pause between runs. 5.41.1:L11 Bitmap images have more contrast than the corresponding JPEG images. 5.41.1:L12 Not possible to perform JPEG/BMP requests with aspect ratio resolutions. 5.41.1:L13 Color parameter has no effect when pulling RTSP stream with color=0. 5.41.1:L14 Stream profile names are limited to alphanumerical characters. 5.41.1:L15 Frame Size Control does not affect size of the snapshot taken with the upper right control that can be added to the Live View. 5.41.1:L16 Constant bit rate might fluctuate more than 10%. 5.41.1:L17 Events triggered at the same time, will by default settings share the same filename. This may result in upload of corrupted image. 5.41.1:L18 Automatic IR Cut Filter will not work if Auto Iris is off. 5.41.1:L19 Recordings made with firmware version 5.06 or 5.06.1 will not be readable on the SD Card from the 5.41.1 firmware. Backup important recordings and reformat the SD Card after the firmware upgrade. 5.41.1:L20 Check and repair is only available if the file system is ext4. 5.41.1:L21 When using action rule resulting in short recordings, it is recommended to extend post-event time. 5.41.1:L22 Date modifiers "%m-%d-%Y" are not formatted correctly when used with folder name, SMTP subject and message. 5.41.1:L23 When snapshot is taken during live view with frame rate and bandwidth values enabled as text overlay, the values are shown as 0 in the snapshot. This happens for H.264 stream. 5.41.1:L24 Some versions of Chrome requires a manual refresh of webpage to show newly created privacy masks and exclude areas. 5.41.1:L25 On some Windows 7 PC's IP Utility doesn't show the DUT when using IPv6. 5.41.1:L26 Expired or not yet valid client certificates will be uploaded successfully instead of being rejected. 5.41.1:L27 Issue with an uploaded bitmap overlay which was made partially transparent unconditionally. 5.41.1:L28 DVM Honeywell generates criticals when accessing a camera during the boot sequence. 5.41.1:L29 When requesting a videostream using video.cgi, the parameter color=0 will not result in a black&white image. 5.41.1:L30 Privacy masks needs to be removed and recreated if capture mode is changed. 5.41.1.L31 Using ACAP on cameras with P/N ending with 06 or less can limit other functionalities.
