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

L02: It is not possible to create an action rule connected to the VMD 3 trigger if both VMD 3 and VMD 4 both
     are running. Since both applications can produce this trigger.

L03: 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.

L04: Enabling visual confirmation may introduce video latency and due to increased CPU-load may affect
     analytic behavior negatively.

L05: 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.

L06: It is not recommended to run AXIS Video Motion Detection at the same time as the cameras built-in
     motion detection or other Analytic ACAPs. This may impact behavior and performance of this application.

L07: If the cameras capture mode is changed during setup, the camera must be restarted for visual confirmation
     to work correctly.

L08: Visual confirmation in the configuration page requires that the browser can connect an rtsp-stream
     over websockets. This requires that the network / proxy settings do not stop this connection.
     Support for an rtsp-stream over websockets requires an updated browser.

L09: Some products will trigger on objects behind privacy masks. To avoid this, exclude areas need to be added.

L10: The "xinternal" event is an internal event used within the application.

L11: Include/exclude areas that are behind other areas are selected by clicking the corresponding eye-icon.
