Known Bugs/Limitations
======================
L01: Objects moving straight towards the camera take longer time to be detected.

L02: In a Pan/Tilt/Zoom product the analytics engine is restarted with each change of preset position.
     Therefore, it is recommended to wait at least 10 seconds before changing preset position.

L03: Enabling visual confirmation may introduce video latency and due to increased CPU-load may affect
     analytic behavior negatively.

L04: The application is performance demanding and thus it is highly recommended to ensure that the camera
     is not exstensively loaded, especially when running other analytic applications at the same time.

L05: The perspective configuration needs to be adjusted in case image rotation or zoom is changed.

L06: If the cameras capture mode is changed during setup, the camera must be restarted for visual confirmation
     to work correctly.

L07: Visual confirmation in the configuration page requires that the browser can connect an rtsp-stream
     over websockets. This requires that the network / proxy settings does not stop this connection.
     Support for an rtsp-stream over websockets requires an updated browser.

L08: Some products will trigger on objects behind privacy masks. To avoid this, exclude areas need to be added.

L09: The "xinternal" event is an internal event used within the application.

L10: Include/exclude areas that are behind other areas are selected by clicking the corresponding eye-icon.

L11: For a list of products compatible with alarm overlay, please see the product page on www.axis.com.

L12: Alarm overlay is supported from firmware 7.30, however usage of alarm overlay and text overlay
     simultaneously is only supported from firmware version 7.40.

L13: Alarm overlay is not supported in snapshots via action rule or image CGI.

L14: The resolution of video streams with alarm overlay enabled is limited to 1280 pixels in width and the corresponding
     height for the current aspect ratio. However for Firmware Version 8.40 or later it is increased to 1080p.

L15: Use of alarm overlay in more than one ACAP at a time is not supported.

L16: Alarm overlay is only supported in the first view area.

L17: Alarm overlay on cameras with ceiling mount option is not supported on firmware 8.10 and earlier.
