RELEASE 5.40.3
============

5.40.3 is the first official production release for the AXIS Q1604

Known Bug/Limitations
=====================

5.40.3:L01 Removing and reinserting SD card during recording is not
           recommendable.

5.40.3:L02 With audio enabled, the initial connection latency is increased.

5.40.3:L03 Remote back focus operation will be disabled when the temperature
           is too low. Information will be shown in system log.

5.40.3:L04 If using Internet explorer versions below 9 it is not possible to show complete
           recipient name in the ActionRules Recipient dropbox. Maximum it can show 10 characters.

5.40.3:L05 A combination of a high bandwidth continuous recording and a lot of small recodings
           can result in disc full. The automatic clean up will stop at the point and the user
           have to manualy remove recordings.

5.40.3:L06 Check and repair is only available if the file system is ext4.

5.40.3:L07 If the default compression is set to 50 or above when constant bit rate
	   is enabled, the camera fails to produce a H.264 video stream.

5.40.3:L08 Audio clips does not work

5.40.3:L09 In an AVHS installation, the clock is not synchronized with the 
           AVHS server which may lead to incorrectly scheduled recordings.

5.40.3:L10 Under rare circumstances no recordings are shown under Storage 
           Overview when connecting to a network share.

5.40.3:L11 When using the H.264 rate controller with a low GOV length 
           (e.g. 3) you can get disrupted video. Use GOV length > 7.

5.40.3:L12 "Network lost" trigger is not available in Action rule setup.

5.40.3:L13 It's not possible to download recordings bigger than 4GB from
           the system.

5.40.3:L14 If you set max gain to a low value, e.g. 0, the IR cut filter
           may not switch back on automatically.

5.40.3:L15 When action rules run, the name of the rule will sometimes be
           incorrectly logged in the system log.

5.40.3:L16 Using modifiers like %c in a network share upload event does not
           work.

5.40.3:L17 It's not possible to trigger action rules based on temperature.

5.40.3:L18 Multiple simultaneous recordings to SD cards and network shares
           can degrade the performance of the system.

5.40.3:L19 The micophone input level is by default quite high.
	   Workaround: Lower the input gain to reach a appropriate level
