Known limitations/Bugs ====================== 5.20:L01 It is not possible to use a space in the upload path for a ftp server. 5.20:L02 If IPv6 is enabled while IPv4 is disabled, the DHCP options received from IPv4 are not removed. Also there is no IPv6 address in the mail body of an SMTP test mail. 5.20:L03 The NTP implementation will not synchronize to NTP servers that signal an alarm condition (clock not synchronized) in its Leap Indicator. 5.20:L04 After changing the date/time of the camera, the video stream will stop after 60 seconds with an RTSP session time out. It does not matter if the media stream is started before or after the time is changed. Workaround: Reboot the camera after the time has been changed manually or by NTP. 5.20:L05 If the SD-card becomes full, is unmounted or the power to the device is lost during an active storage recording, the ongoing recording may be lost or made non-seekable. 5.20:L06 If there are many recordings on a SD card in the unit, then the FPS will become low (12-28 fps) and the video will stutter while the recordings are being read, i.e. when the card is mounted. 5.20:L07 It is not possible to play recordings directly from SD-card on a PC if the recording was terminated incorrectly, if the recordings was done by a scheduled event, if the SD-card got full or if the size of the recording reached 2GB. It is still playable from the camera's Recording List web interface. 5.20:L08 It is not supported to configure always multicast RTP. 5.20:L09 Support for overlays other than full color have been disabled. 5.20:L10 If RTSP authentication is switched off, streaming H.264 with QuickTime and other Apple compatible clients will not work as they require authentication of the RTSP, but do not allow HTTP authentication. 5.20:L11 The AXIS Media Control client may stop displaying the H.264 video stream after the PC has been locked. Workaround: Reload the Live View page. 5.20:L12 AXIS Media Control may on some client computers with insufficient performance buffer up images which may lead to latency and use of memory. Stopping the streams will restore the memory. 5.20:L13 Quicktime and windows media player does not show H.264 in resolution 1920x1080 and capture mode 1080i in correct 16:9 aspect ratio, windows media player show correct if ffdshow decoder is used. 5.20:L14 Bitmap and text overlays are stretched 33% horizontally in H.264 when capture mode is 1080i and resolution is 1920x1080. 5.20:L15 AMC snapshots are squeezed 25% horizontally in H.264 when capture mode is 1080i and resolution is 1920x1080. 5.20:L16 Recordings made in AMC with audio does not sound good when played in VLC, but works fine in windows media player. 5.20:L17 H.264 live view in resolutions 800x450 or 480x270 with rotation 90 or 270 does not work in Windows media player or AMC and may crash IE. 5.20:L18 When using Mozilla Firefox to view MJPEG, rendering artifacts (parts of the previous frame) can be seen when there is a lot of movement. 5.20:L19 If a tab or window with a runnning MJPEG stream is closed in Firefox 3 the stream will still be running in the background. The stream is not closed until Firefox is terminated. (to be fixed in Firefox 3.0.5) 5.20:L20 Stream profile names are limited to alphanumerical characters. 5.20:L21 The combination of MJPEG, AAC and multipart is not supported. 5.20:L22 Full duplex audio is not supported. 5.20:L23 When audio volume slider in AMC is set to 0, you can still hear sound. 5.20:L24 Java Applet viewer may have choppy audio due to performance problems. 5.20:L25 Joystick used for PTZ camera movement will not work in full screen without first using the mouse. 5.20:L26 There are problems with PTZ when using java applet as viewer - the respose may seem slow, the camera movements jerky and the zoom wide button does not zoom out fully. 5.20:L27 When using Java Applet viewer and the PTZ control queue enabled, PTZ interaction by clicking in picture the does not work. 5.20:L28 The image is neither mirrored nor rotated at Motion Detection page. 5.20:L29 Set a Motion detaction object size to low and sensitivity to high and you may get motion detection triggers when switching on/off the IR filter. 5.20:L30 In Gate Keeper motion detection setup, the activity indicator will at first not show any activity until object size, hitsory or sensitivity is changed. 5.20:L31 The external serial port is numbered 2, although it is the only serial port on the product. 5.20:L32 Saving a home preset activates auto focus after preset is saved. 5.20:L33 SNMP trap Linkup only work every 2:nd time. 5.20:L34 The event combination option "Include pre-trigger buffer" and "Upload as long as the trigger is active" does not work together, only the pre-buffer is saved/uploaded. 5.20:L35 After downgrading from 5.20 to 5.02 customers will have to do a “Restore” to get PTZ working. 5.20:L36 Overlay text/date/time include supports 80 characters. 5.20:L37 When using the visca ptz driver there is a problem when using the pptz commands and using serial.cgi/write at the same time.
