FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTES ====================== Products affected: AXIS M7001 Video Encoder Release date: 2011-06-28 Release type: Production Firmware version: 5.20 File name: M7001_5_20.bin Preceding release: 5.02 AMC version: 5.9.10.0-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. New Features ============ 5.20:F01 Added embedded AVHS (Axis Video Hosting System) client. 5.20:F02 Added ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) support including metadata streaming over RTSP/RTP. This includes streaming of event data, PTZ position and status data, and analytics data. Dynamic web services discovery protocol as specified in ONVIF standard, which follows WS-Discovery definitions (remote discovery will not be supported), is also included. 5.20:F03 Added support for 802.1x. 5.20:F04 Functionality has been added making it possible for customer to upload a customer logotype in the live view webpage. Corrections since 5.02 ====================== 5.20:C01 It is possible now to see rotated image at the Motion detection and exposure settings page. 5.20:C02 Dynamic Text Overlay works now as intended. 5.20:C03 Solved issue with time in the overlay should be the same as the NTP time. 5.20:C04 Overlay Image Upload is enabled. 5.20:C05 Fixed issue with sftpclient. 5.20:C06 Issue with RTP over RTSP over HTTP problem is fixed. 5.20:C07 Solved issue with Axis Metadata monitor. 5.20:C08 Incorrect RTP timestamping of the SPS/PPS frames issue is fixed. 5.20:C9 Included stability fix. Known limitations ================= 5.20:L01 It is not possible to use a space in the upload path for a ftp server. 5.20: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. 5.20:L03 The NTP implementation will not synchronize to NTP servers that signal an alarm condition (clock not synchronized) in its Leap Indicator. 5.20: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. 5.20:L05 It is not supported to configure always multicast RTP. 5.20:L06 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. 5.20:L07 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. 5.20:L08 AXIS Media Control may on some client computers with insufficient performance buffer up images which may lead to latency and use of memory. Stopping the streams will restore the memory. 5.20:L09 Stream profile names are limited to alphanumerical characters. 5.20:L10 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. (to be fixed in Firefox 3.0.5) 5.20:L11 When using Mozilla Firefox to view MJPEG, rendering artifacts (parts of the previous frame) can be seen when there is a lot of movement. 5.20:L12 Joystick used for PTZ camera movement will not work in full screen without first using the mouse. 5.20:L13 There are problems with PTZ when using java applet as viewer - the responsemay seem slow, the camera movements jerky and the zoom wide button does not zoom out fully. 5.20:L14 When using Java Applet viewer and the PTZ control queue enabled, PTZ interaction by clicking in picture the does not work. 5.20:L15 Setup of motion detection in a non-AMC environment does not work. 5.20:L16 In rare cases an error renders the unit unreachable because the file /etc/conf.d/http_auth is an empty file. Factory default does not repair the problem. Application Developer Information ================================= The AXIS VAPIX Application Programming Interface is supported by the AXIS M7001.
