====================== Products affected: AXIS 233D Network Dome Camera Release date: 2007-05-23 Release type: Production Firmware version: 4.41 File name: 233D_441.bin Preceding release: 4.40 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 4.41 ============ Known limitations in 4.41 ========================= 4.41:L01 Pan/tilt coordinate directions presented in the text overlay (#x #y) will not be rotated along with the image when rotation is 180. 4.41:L02 When activating IPV6/DHCP, the camera doesn't register it's address in the DNS. 4.41:L03 On "Image Settings", when entering a overlay text string comprising of "#x" and "#Z" and pressing the "Test" button, the Browser window may hang/crash on some systems. 4.41:L04 Some combinations of slow setting on manual shutter speed or max exposure time together with low max gain settings will cause exposure errors. 4.41:L05 If using IE/AMC and there is a proxy server between the client and the 233D, a yellow balloon with a Proxy POST size error occurs sometimes when audio is enabled. 4.41:L06 Rotated video streams are not rotated in Motion Detection setup. 4.41:L07 Including format field #r, #R, #b or #B in the text overlay will show an incorrect frame rate and bandwidth usage when the frame rate is limited for Motion JPEG. 4.41:L08 If you have more than one IE window open running the AXIS Media Control and audio enabled, you may experience a delay that increases over time in all but the topmost window. 4.41:L09 Viewing full screen and sequencing through different external video sources with different video streams in a sequence will switch the full screen mode off. 4.41:L10 When saving a snapshot image, some Web browsers (e.g. Mozilla) will fetch a new picture and the saved picture will not match the displayed snapshot. 4.41:L11 The Mozilla Web browser does not always close the image stream properly when leaving the Live View page. Restarting the stream can sometimes fail as well. Restarting Mozilla solves these two problems. 4.41:L12 The number of configurable privacy masks is limited to 8. 4.41:L13 No more that 4 privacy masks can be placed so close together that they are in the same view at any given time. Modifications ============= 4.41:M01 HTTP API for configuring Privacy Masks have changed, see http://www.axis.com/techsup/cam_servers/dev/cam_http_api_2.htm for documentation. 4.41:M02 Preset Position are stored in parameters groups starting at index 1, previous starting index was 0. 4.41:M03 Minimum size for an OSDI zone is changed frm 5 to 1 degree. 4.41:M04 Default color level has been increased. Corrections in 4.41 since 4.40 ============================== 4.41:C01 Preset indexing when using PTZ API commands setserverpresetno, removeserverpresetno and gotoserverpresetno are now consistent. 4.41:C02 Preset listing using ptz API commands query=presetposcam and query=presetposall now works. 4.41:C03 Corrected a issue in the PTZ control application which caused the application to fail if PTZ API command gotodevcicepreset was used. 4.41:C04 Corrected a issue for the PTZ API command continuouspantiltmove, which caused movements that changed pan direction to stop almost immediately. 4.41:C05 The help page for image settings now lists correct white balances. 4.41:C06 Full frame rate is now available for streams of different resolution simultaneously. 4.41:C07 High Mpeg-4 constant latency has been fixed. 4.41:C08 Motion detection will not trigger on auto focus movements after pan/tilt/zoom movements. 4.41:C09 Privacy Masks are now removed at factory default. 4.41:C10 Status/network LED behavior corrected, now it turns off correctly when link is up again. 4.41:C11 Conflicting camera commands are prevented from running at the same time. This prevents camera lock-up. 4.41:C12 Fixed 4.40:L14, a problem with authentication when upgrading using the web i/f. 4.41:C13 Fixed 4.40:L15, the boot trigger does now work. 4.41:C14 Fixed rounding errors in web i/f which sometimes prevented settings OSDI zones with upper border at 0 degree tilt. 4.41:C15 Max zoom limits are now set correctly.
