FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTE ===================== Products affected: T8705 Release date: 2023-03-07 Release type: Production Firmware version: 6.0.5 File name: T8705_6_0_5.bin Preceding release: 6.0.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrade instructions ==================== Upgrade the firmware according to the instructions given at https://www.axis.com/ca/en/support/tecnical-notes/how-to-upgrade or howtoupgrade.txt, which is included in the firmware folder. NOTE ==================== For latest information about Axis Cybersecurity, see https://www.axis.com/se/sv/support/product-security. This firmware needs 5.1.8.5 or later installed on the unit New features in 6.0.5 since 6.0.2 ================================================================================ 6.0.5:F1 Accepting hostnames when adding Axis video sources from the local network. New features in 6.0.1 since 6.0.0 ================================================================================ 6.0.1:F1 Improved webserver and filesystem robustness to increase overall minimum cybersecurity level. New features in 6.0.0 since 5.1.8.5 ================================================================================ 6.0.0:F1 New Linux based platform that is easier to update and maintain than the previous platform. 6.0.0:F2 The web interface has been updated and is now based on Axis Device Assistant. 6.0.0:F3 The new web interface has enhanced the way the users can configure views. It is possible to create multiviews and individually assign a video source to an area of the view. Views can be named to identify them more easily. 6.0.0:F4 More options to configure a sequence view. The sequence order can easily be changed, and each view can have an individual duration in the sequence. It is also possible to mix single views with multiviews in the sequence. 6.0.0:F5 It is possible to set a maximum bitrate per profile for Axis cameras. This ensures that the decoder will not be choked with too much video data and prevent artifacts. 6.0.0:F6 Implemented firmware rollback which makes it possible to roll back to a previous installed 6.x firmware. Rollback to firmware's on the 5.x platform is not supported. 6.0.0:F7 Possibility to configure the desired latency in an interval ranging from 100ms - 2000ms with the parameter root.Decoder.Latency, available in plain config. High decoding or network load might still lead to higher latencies than configured. 6.0.0:F8 Added possibility to prevent screen tearing by enabling vertical sync with the parameter root.Decoder.Vsync, available in plain config. This should only be used be used for single views as the decoder can only effectively sync one view with the monitor. 6.0.0:F9 A user will now be assigned a privilege level (Administrator/Operator/Viewer). 6.0.0:F10 New format for exporting configuration files. Implemented the possibility to select any subset of "Video Sources", "Display Configuration", "System Settings" and "Users" for exporting. It is still possible to import configurations from the 5.x platform. 6.0.0:F11 Configuring parameters through the param.cgi API is now possible through the web interface's "Plain config" page. Added param.cgi action "listdefinitions". 6.0.0:F12 Implemented the possibility to restart the decoding process via API call 6.0.0:F13 Implemented ONVIF API for uploading pkcs12 certificates (LoadPkcs12Request) and for downloading pkcs12 signing requests (GetPkcs10Request2). Added ONVIF method for downloading certificate information (GetCertificateInformation). 6.0.0:F14 Implemented VAPIX API apidiscovery.cgi The AXIS API Discovery service makes it possible to retrieve information about APIs supported on their products https://www.axis.com/vapix-library/subjects/t10175981/section/t10131704/display 6.0.0:F15 Implemented VAPIX API time.cgi The Time API makes it possible to get and set time, date and time zone information https://www.axis.com/vapix-library/subjects/t10175981/section/t10140267/display 6.0.0:F16 Implemented VAPIX API ntp.cgi 6.0.0:F17 Implemented VAPIX API firmwaremangement.cgi 6.0.0:F18 Implemented VAPIX API network_settings.cgi 6.0.0:F19 Implemented VAPIX API ssh.cgi 6.0.0:F20 Implemented VAPIX API basicdeviceinfo.cgi 6.0.0:F22 Implemented VAPIX API upnp.cgi 6.0.0:F23 Implemented VAPIX API mdnssd.cgi 6.0.0:F24 Implemented VAPIX API systemready.cgi Corrections in 6.0.5 since 6.0.2 ================================================================================ 6.0.5:C1 Problem with authentication on Axis cameras with 5.50 and earlier firmware. 6.0.5:C2 Problem with cameras using an IPv6 address. 6.0.5:C3 Added more information to the server report for easier debugging. 6.0.5:C4 Hostname was sent incorrectly to the DHCP server. 6.0.5:C5 Jobs where scheduled in UTC instead of local timezone. 6.0.5:C6 Problem with some view configurations from Axis Camera Station. 6.0.5:C7 Better recovery to pick up DHCP address when the device is using the fallback IP address. 6.0.5:C8 Improved framerate for MJPEG video streams. 6.0.5:C9 Better handling of zeroconf address. 6.0.5:C10 Increased the waiting period to lower the risk of RTSP timeouts. 6.0.5:C11 Was not possible to edit video sources for some multichannel Axis cameras. 6.0.5:C12 Axis cameras with a 2:1 aspect ratio did not get any resolution options in their video profiles 6.0.5:C13 Better handling of certificate uploading. 6.0.5:C14 Secondary manual NTP server was not saved. 6.0.5:C15 Generic video sources got support for MPEG-4. 6.0.5:C16 Problem adding Axis Companion cameras (Companion mini cameras are still not supported) Corrections in 6.0.2 since 6.0.1 ================================================================================ 6.0.2:C1 Optimized for better production flow. Corrections in 6.0.1 since 6.0.0 ================================================================================ 6.0.1:C1 Self-signed certificates created by the device was not saved. 6.0.1:C2 Bugfix for importing configuration files that were created on an earlier firmware version. 6.0.1:C3 The parameter root.System.RootPwdSet was updated first after a reboot which was causing problem when adding new unconfigured T8705 devices in ACS. Corrections in 6.0.0 since 5.1.8.5 ================================================================================ 6.0.0:C1 Removed IP addresses in error messages displayed on the monitor due to security concerns. 6.0.0:C2 Fixed problem with lower framerate. 6.0.0:C3 Network interface fixed on 100 Mbit/s full duplex
