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 5.22 ============ Improvements since 5.20 ======================= 5.22:I01 Added support for new hardware. 5.22:I02 SMTP notifications will now set the correct "from"-address when sending messages. 5.22:I03 Timestamps in RTP packets should now be set correctly. 5.22:I04 Removed wrong printout about not properly moving P-Iris from the log. Known limitations ================= 5.22:L01 When removing view areas, the name will be remembered and reused when creating new view areas. 5.22:L02 Specific PTZ preset does not trigger an event. Use Any Position as trigger instead. 5.22:L03 Problem downloading recordings if you fetch 15 or more at the same time. 5.22:L04 Generating crash report can take long time. Wait for download to finish. 5.22:L05 Recordings made with an earlier firmware than 5.20 will not be readable on the SD Card from the 5.22 firmware. Backup important recordings and reformat the SD Card after firmware upgrade. 5.22:L06 After first registration of the camera to http://www.axiscam.net, some critical errors can be seen in the log and LED will flash, however the updates are working fine. Accessing the camera using axiscam name will get an white image. Workaround: refresh page. 5.22:L07 Removing and reinserting SD card during recording is not recommendable. 5.22:L08 Having a very large number of records (more then 15000) made in a single shot, the last page of the recording list cannot be accessed. Workaround: Restart the camera. 5.22:L09 Daylight saving time does not work for Iran. 5.22:L10 With audio enabled, the initial connection latency is increased. 5.22:L11 Remote back focus operation will be disabled when the temperature is too low. Information will be shown in system log. 5.22:L12 Selecting sensor capture mode shall be done during initial product configuration as many different settings are affected and will need to be reconfigured. Sensor capture mode affects the available resolutions and changing it in real time requires other resolution related configuration changes on the camera and possibly a recording software. For example, if a resolution that is not available for one capture mode is requested, the reply will be "bad request". 5.22:L13 To get smoother H.264 video in Live view in 3MP and HDTV highest resolution, it might be necessary to disable both "Advanced video rendering" and "Enable overlays" in the Control Panel>AXIS Media Control. 5.22:L14 Stream Profiles are not associated with any particular View area. They are profiles that can be used with any view area. The View area is not saved with the Stream Profile. 5.22:L15 Two view areas can not have guard tours with the same name. 5.22:L16 A big overlay image cannot be uploaded to the camera using Internet Explorer. Workaround: Use Firefox instead. 5.22:L17 Local recording playback fails when using Motion JPEG with resolution 2048x1536 and associated audio. Workaround: Use H.264 instead. 5.22:L18 A large amount of simultaneous uploads might cause a warning message in kernel log. 5.22:L19 Streaming a recorded MJPEG over RTSP with a resolution of 2048x1536 or higher does not work. 5.22:L20 Will always show PTZ-controls in ACS even if PTZ isn't enabled. 5.22:L21 Factory default or upgrading of the P1346-E camera with flash_all option will set image rotation to 0. Configure rotation to 180 degrees for correct image orientation.
