FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTE ====================== Products affected: V5914 Release date: 2019-11-28 Release type: Production Firmware version: 8.45.3 Preceding release: 5.75.1.13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. BEFORE upgrading from 5.75.1.13 please note the following IMPORTANT INFORMATION: As this is a very large step in Firmware versions, a Factory Default or Factory Restore of the camera is required after the update in order to ensure full functionality. This can be done via the web interface. Go to Settings > Sytem > Maintenance. More information on performing a Factory Reset can be found in the User Manual. New features in 8.45.3 ================================================================================ 8.45.3:F1 Axis Zipstream now supported for reduced bandwidth and storage requirements. 8.45.3:F2 Added support for ONVIF Audio Backchannel. 8.45.3:F3 New web-interface with improved usability and broader support of web-clients and operating systems. For more information please see https://www.axis.com/global/en/support/technical-notes/browser-support. 8.45.3:F4 CamStreamer ACAP updated to 3.4.2. 8.45.3:F5 Added support for AES-CBC 256-bit SD card encryption. 8.45.3:F6 Axis Video Motion Detection updated to 4.2.5. 8.45.3:F7 Added a new section "Snapshot of current CPU utilization" that prints information about CPU utilization and memory consumption of processes in the server report. 8.45.3:F8 Changed the default timeout of HTTP-Recipient based action rules from 10s to 120s to compensate for unstable networks or slow clients. After the timeout is reached, the action rule will be re-tried. 8.45.3:F9 Added the possibility for the user to share anonymous usage data with AXIS developers. 8.45.3:F10 Added support for automatically negotiating the preferred SMB protocol version with SMB 2.1 or higher in order to increase the overall minimum cybersecurity level. Please refer to the follwing FAQ for more information -> https://www.axis.com/support/faq/FAQ116392. In case SMB 1.0 or SMB 2.0 is required due to compatibility issues, we recommend setting the Extra Mount Options in PlainConfig -> Storage to a specific version"vers=x.y" (e.g vers=1.0 or vers=2.0). Please note that there are two Storage groups that are related to a mounted network share (normally Storage S1 and Storage S2) and both of them need to have the correct version in Extra Mount Options. 8.45.3:F11 Added support for ONVIF Audio Backchannel with support for G711 and G726 audio codec. Cameras are able to retrieve audio while sending an audio capable video stream with metadata in the same RTSP session. 8.45.3:F12 Updated OpenEmbedded to version Poky Rocko to increase overall cyber security level. 8.45.3:F13 Updated the maximum number of recipients for action rules to 20 from 10. 8.45.3:F14 Changed the default setting of SRTP to disabled in order to reduce the number of ports opened by default. 8.45.3:F15 Prepared support for signed firmware to increase overall cyber security level. It is planned that the product will only accept AXIS security-signed firmware starting in Q1/Q2 2019 and onwards. 8.45.3:F16 The possibility to edit scripts in camera has been disabled per default in order to increase minimum cyber security level. 8.45.3:F17 Updated NTP server (openntpd) to version 6.2p3. 8.45.3:F18 Added support for showing hidden resolutions via API. The parameter Properties.Image.ShowSuboptimalResolutions has been added which will, when enabled, show all of the products supported resolutions. 8.45.3:F19 Changed the behavior of the capture mode parameter. Changing capture mode requires a reboot now. 8.45.3:F20 Support for Firmware Recovery under Settings -> System -> Maintenance. The product is saving a restore point every time the firmware is updated, allowing the user to rollback to a previous firmware and its configuration. 8.45.3:F21 Support for HTTP keep-alive connections via ONVIF. PTZ products can now be controlled via HTTP keep-alive connections. This increases PTZ control accuracy, reduces overhead communication and therefore lowers the risk for security focused network infrastructure or unstable networks to block or drop PTZ control commands. 8.45.3:F22 Support for browser stream statistics in Live View. 8.45.3:F23 Support for Password Security Confirmation Check. To increase overall cybersecurity awareness, a user-configured password that is considered "weak" need to be confirmed actively twice by the user. 8.45.3:F24 The functionality of enabling Axis DNS Service via control button has been disabled by default. It can be enabled again using VAPIX. 8.45.3:F25 Changed the default web server authentication from Basic & Digest to Digest only. 8.45.3:F26 Upon a factory default, the camera will generate a self-signed certificate at boot and enable HTTPS. This allows clients to use encrypted access from start. If HTTPS is to be used in daily operations, it is recommended to replace the generated self-signed certificate with a CA-signed certificate. 8.45.3:F27 PTZ products can be controlled now via HTTP 1.1 keep-alive connections which increases PTZ control accuracy, reduces overhead communication and therefore lowers the risk for security focused network infrastructure to block PTZ control commands when controlling a PTZ camera. 8.45.3:F28 Support for AXIS SD card health API. The SD card health API allows a client to track and request the health and wear-out state of an camera with AXIS Surveillance SD Card. 8.45.3:F29 The Axis Media Control (AMC) is not longer embedded in the product and needs to be downloaded separately on https://www.axis.com/global/en/support/downloads /axis-media-control if needed. The Java Applet has been removed as well. 8.45.3:F30 Our ONVIF implementation have been improved by adding GetVideoEncoderConfigurationOptions extension. This makes it possible for an ONVIF client to get the bitrate range. 8.45.3:F31 Renamed "Browser Stream Statistics" to "Client Stream Information". The Client Stream Information are available in the web-interface of the camera. 8.45.3:F32 The new web-interface supports 12 different pre-installed languages which will be chosen automatically based on browser settings. Uploading individual language files is not needed anymore. Supported Languages: English - German - French - Spanish - Italian - Portugese - Polish - Russian - Japanese - Chinese (Mainland) - Chinese (Taiwan) - Korean 8.45.3:F33 Updated help files with more detailed information about SMB and Certificate support in AXIS products.
