Known Bugs/limitations in AXIS Perimeter Defender ====================== KL01: Long-range mode is only available for older thermal devices KL02: Scene with moving trees can create a faulty calibration KL03: Error messages stay visible even if the camera is deleted or another camera selected KL04: Setup Interface is sometimes degraded when used using Remote Desktop KL05: Looping video in detection results (during calibration validation) may freeze interface for a few seconds depending on computer performance and recording length KL06: If one camera is selected, selecting the license folder will not install the camera license KL07: Interface may crash when too many devices are connected KL08: Same camera can be added with IP and hostname KL09: Camera live view becomes blank in edge-browser panel KL10: Installing a licence does not work if the folder has characters not supported by the OS KL11 Burnt-in Metadata Overlay and Dynamic Overlay form the camera will not coexist, please use the legacy Text Overlay as explained blow on "KL 12". KL12: Cameras with firmware version 7.20 or connected through AVHS can show double overlay if burnt-in metadata overlay is enabled on streams having the same resolution as the ones used by the Setup Interface. KL13: If enabling “burnt-in metadata overlay” and “text overlay” on firmware 8.20 with APD 2.3.2, does not work, please follow the instructions below. 1) On the cameras GUI access System>Plain Config>Image>Image I0 Text and set 'String' (if not set already) and 'Text enabled' to the parameters below. Do not forget to save the settings. String: %X Text enabled: "just tick the box" (It is also possible, to enable the legacy text overlay using the following VAPIX command: https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/dlIlCN8E8hMEnVslClnh?domain=camera-ip-address). 2) Restart the ACAP on the camera, either through the camera GUI, or through the APD application. 3) Optionally, you can also remove the new dynamic text overlay if set or converted during the upgrade to firmware 8.20.
