=========================
AXIS Camera Explorer 1.1 (ACE)
Release Notes
=========================

System Requirements
-------------------

OS: Windows 95 with Winsock2
    Windows 98 / ME
    Windows NT4 / 2000

Internet Explorer: Version 4.01 or later

Hardware: Intel Pentium 166MHz MMX, 64 Mb
          Mouse equipped with Mouse Wheel (applies to PTZ devices/cameras)

Installation
------------

You must be logged in as an administrator when installing ACE.

You don't have to uninstall ACE 1.0 before installing ACE 1.1 and you 
don't have to enter a licence code if you already have registered ACE.

Run setup.exe (or ACE.exe if you are installing the downloadable version). 
Follow the instructions. After the successful installation 
of ACE you will find a new icon in the folder tree
on the left side of Windows Explorer - called Network Cameras. 
You may have to refresh the Explorer after the installation.

About uninstall / reinstallation:

Uninstall will remove all of the objects (cameras, albums and 
live video sites) you have added. If you need to uninstall 
ACE and still want to keep you objects for later use, 
back up the following file (found in the Windows/Winnt directory): 
B70B3711_525C_11D4_B070_009027BD8645.rfo.

ACE will create a new B70B...rfo file when it is reinstalled. 
Replace the B70B...rfo file with the one you backed up.


New features and changes
------------------------

The Add Camera wizard has been modified. The host name dialog accepts 
DNS names as well as IP addresses, and the camera settings dialog includes 
the host/IP address. The camera settings dialog is also used as the 
property page for a camera item.

Recording is made in a separate process. A small window displays 
the captured images.

It is now possible to select an Album as well as browse for folders 
when the Record dialog is shown.

The frame rate of a sequence can be changed using the context menu 
in the image view (where the sequence icons are shown).

The sequence viewer will use 1 fps if the actual frame rate is slower.

New objects/functions: Quad View and Camera Switching.


Known limitations
-----------------

Albums, recording and snapshots:
Use full paths (C:\images, not just images) when you associate an 
Album with a directory and when you record and save snapshots. 

Adding Internet connected cameras:
An Internet connected camera will not be identified autmatically 
if you are connected to the Internet through a proxy server. But, 
you can choose model and version manually if the identification 
fails. Another possibility is to add a Live Video site object and 
enter the video request in the URL field.

Camera object names:
Avoid using DNS names when you are naming camera or 
Live video site objects in the Explorer. In some cases 
the Internet Explorer will try to open the camera object 
instead of connecting to the camera when you enter the 
DNS name in the Address field.

Delete and View button:
You can not use the delete and view buttons in the toolbar to delete
objects or to change the view style (large icons, details etc) of the 
folder view if you are running Windows 2000 or Windows ME. Use the 
context meny or the View menu instead.
