Known Bugs/Limitations ====================== 5.50.5:L01 It is recommended to unmount the SD Card before ejecting it. 5.50.5: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. 5.50.5: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. 5.50.5:L04 Remote back focus operation will be disabled when temperature is too low. Information will be shown in the system log. 5.50.5:L05 Check and repair is only available if the file system is ext4. 5.50.5:L06 Recording streams with a total bit rate above 12Mbit/sec to SD Card may cause missing frames/sequences. 5.50.5:L07 When using action rule resulting in short recordings, it is recommended to extend post-event time. 5.50.5:L08 With audio enabled, the initial connection latency increases. 5.50.5:L09 Sometimes IR cut filter switches between ON/OFF after factory default when illuminance is 7-10 lux. 5.50.5:L10 Color parameter has no effect when pulling RTSP stream with color=0. 5.50.5: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". 5.50.5: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. 5.50.5:L13 Local recording playback fails when using Motion JPEG with resolution 2048x1536 and associated audio. Workaround: Use H.264 instead. 5.50.5:L14 If text overlay is more than 460 characters long, no text will be displayed. 5.50.5:L15 Private keys need to be in a PKCS#1 format in order to function. 5.50.5:L16 A maximum of 100 installed certificates is allowed. 5.50.5:L14 If downgrading to previous firmware version, a factory default is recommended after performing the downgrade.
