FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTE ===================== Products affected: M5525-E Release date: 2018-09-19 Release type: Production Firmware version: 8.40.1 Preceding release: 8.30.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrade instructions ==================== Upgrade the firmware according to the instructions given at https://www.axis.com/ca/en/support/tecnical-notes/how-to-upgrade or howtoupgrade.txt, which is included in the firmware folder. New features in 8.40.1 ================================================================================ 8.40.1:F1 Renamed "Browser Stream Statistics" to "Client Stream Information". The Client Stream Information are available in the web-interface of the camera. 8.40.1:F2 Added support for ONVIF Audio Backchannel. 8.40.1:F3 Updated apache webserver to version 2.4.33 to increase overall minimum cyber security level. 8.40.1:F4 Added support for AES-CBC 256-bit SD card encryption. 8.40.1:F5 AXIS Video Motion Detection 4.2.5 is now pre-installed. 8.40.1:F6 Updated help files with more detailed information about SMB and Certificate support in AXIS products. 8.40.1:F7 Added a new section "Snapshot of current CPU utilization" that prints information about CPU utilization and memory consumption of processes in the server report. 8.40.1:F8 Changed the default timeout of HTTP-Recipient based action rules from 10s to 120s to compensate for unstable networks or slow clients. After the timeout is reached, the action rule will be re-tried. Features in 8.30.1 ================================================================================ 8.30.1:F1 Added the possibility for the user to share anonymous usage data with AXIS developers. 8.30.1:F2 Added support for automatically negotiating the preferred SMB protocol version with SMB 2.1 or higher in order to increase the overall minimum cybersecurity level. Please refer to the follwing FAQ for more information -> https://www.axis.com/support/faq/FAQ116392. In case SMB 1.0 or SMB 2.0 is required due to compatibility issues, we recommend setting the Extra Mount Options in PlainConfig -> Storage to a specific version"vers=x.y" (e.g vers=1.0 or vers=2.0). Please note that there are two Storage groups that are related to a mounted network share (normally Storage S1 and Storage S2) and both of them need to have the correct version in Extra Mount Options. 8.30.1:F3 Added support for ONVIF Audio Backchannel with support for G711 and G726 audio codec. Cameras are able to retrieve audio while sending an audio capable video stream with metadata in the same RTSP session. 8.30.1:F4 Updated OpenEmbedded to version Poky Rocko to increase overall cyber security level. 8.30.1:F5 Updated the maximum number of recipients for action rules to 20 from 10. 8.30.1:F6 Changed the default setting of SRTP to disabled in order to reduce the number of ports opened by default. 8.30.1:F7 AXIS Video Motion Detection 4.2.4 is now pre-installed. 8.30.1:F8 Prepared support for signed firmware to increase overall cyber security level. It is planned that the product will only accept AXIS security-signed firmware starting in Q1/Q2 2019 and onwards. 8.20.1:F1 The possibility to edit scripts in camera has been disabled per default in order to increase minimum cyber security level. 8.20.1:F2 Changed the default audio bitrate to 32 kbps. 8.20.1:F3 Updated AXIS Video Motion Detection to version 4.2.1. 8.20.1:F4 Changed the default input audio gain from 30 dB to 45 dB. 8.20.1:F5 Updated NTP server (openntpd) to version 6.2p3. 8.20.1:F6 Added support for showing hidden resolutions via API. The parameter Properties.Image.ShowSuboptimalResolutions has been added which will, when enabled, show all of the products supported resolutions.
