Known Bugs/Limitations
======================

5.51.5:L01
It is recommended to unmount the SD Card before ejecting it.

5.51.5:L02
Recordings made with firmware earlier than 5.20 will not be readable
on the SD Card from the 5.50 firmware. Backup important recordings and
reformat the SD Card after the firmware upgrade.

5.51.5:L03
Upgrading from firmware 5.40 and prior requires an upgrade of the recordings
database. This can take up to five minutes and is conducted on first boot. Make
sure to not remove power or SD card during the first five minutes after
upgrading the device.

5.51.5:L04
Remote back focus operation will be disabled when temperature
is too low. Information will be shown in the system log.

5.51.5:L05
Check and repair is only available if the file system is ext4.

5.51.5:L06
Recording streams with a total bit rate above
12Mbit/sec to SD Card may cause missing frames/sequences.

5.51.5:L07
When using action rule resulting in short recordings, it is recommended
to extend post-event time.

5.51.5:L08
With audio enabled, the initial connection latency increases.

5.51.5:L09
Sometimes IR cut filter switches between ON/OFF after factory default when
illuminance is 7-10 lux.

5.51.5:L10
Color parameter has no effect when pulling RTSP stream with color=0.

5.51.5:L11
Sensor capture mode should be set during the initial product
configuration as it affects the available resolutions. 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".

5.51.5:L12
It may be necessary to disable both "Advanced video
rendering" and "Enable overlays" in the Control Panel -> AXIS Media
Control in order to get a smoother H.264 video in Live view in 3MP and HDTV highest
resolution.

5.51.5:L13
Local recording playback fails when using Motion JPEG with resolution
2048x1536 and associated audio. Workaround: Use H.264 instead.

5.51.5:L14
If text overlay is more than 460 characters long, no text will be displayed.

5.51.5:L15
Private keys need to be in a PKCS#1 format in order to function.

5.51.5:L16
A maximum of 100 installed certificates is allowed.

5.51.5:L14
If downgrading to previous firmware version, a factory default is recommended
after performing the downgrade.
