Known Bugs/Limitations
======================

5.55.1:L01  When the automatic IR cut filter enables/disables the
            IR cut filter, it may trigger motion detection.

5.55.1:L02  Using control queue with Java Applet may result in wrong
            queue positions if switching between admin and viewer users.

            of zoom/focus/iris control bars if the device is not fully

5.55.1:L05  The live stream is not updated when using tilt arrows in
            some update revisions of IE9. The stream will update again

5.55.1:L06  The ipv6.class field will have the same value in all IPv6
            packages. The class field value depends on the value of

            12Mbit/sec may cause missing frames/sequences.

            next firmware upgrade.

            it is recommended to extend post-trigger time.

5.55.1:L10  Video performance might be degraded when ip address
            filtering is enabled. Disable network logging in plain
            config to increase performance.

5.55.1:L11  Upgrading the camera in IE10 from a slow disk such as a
            network-share might cause the upgrade info webpage to
            timeout. The camera will still be upgraded.

            not work in Internet Explorer
