Known Bugs/Limitations ====================== 5.40.9:L01 It is recommended to unmount the SD Card before ejecting it. 5.40.9:L02 Recordings made with firmware earlier than 5.20 will not be readable on the SD Card from the 5.40 firmware. Backup important recordings and reformat the SD Card after the firmware upgrade. 5.40.9:L03 Stream Profiles are not associated with any particular View area. They are profiles that can be used with any view area. The View area is not saved with the Stream Profile. 5.40.9:L04 Remote back focus operation will be disabled when the temperature is too low. Information will be shown in system log. 5.40.9:L05 Check and repair is only available if the file system is ext4. 5.40.9:L06 Recording streams to SD Card with a total bit rate above 12Mbit/sec may cause missing frames/sequences. 5.40.9:L07 When using action rule resulting in short recordings it is recommended to extend post-event time. 5.40.9:L08 With audio enabled, the initial connection latency is increased. 5.40.9:L09 Sometimes IR filter switches between ON/OFF after factory default when illuminance is 7-10 lux. 5.40.9:L10 Color parameter when pulling RTSP stream with color=0 doesn't have effect. 5.40.9:L11 Sensor capture mode should be set during the initial product configuration as it affects the available resolutions. Changing it in real time requires other resolution related configuration changes on the camera and possibly a recording software. For example, if a resolution that is not available for one capture mode is requested, the reply will be "bad request". 5.40.9:L12 To get smoother H.264 video in Live view in 3MP and HDTV highest resolution, it may be necessary to disable both "Advanced video rendering" and "Enable overlays" in the Control Panel -> AXIS Media Control. 5.40.9:L13 Local recording playback fails when using Motion JPEG with resolution 2048x1536 and associated audio. Workaround: Use H.264 instead. Application Developer Information ================================= The AXIS VAPIX Application Programming Interface version 3 is supported by the AXIS P1346/P1346-E.
