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


9.40.1:L1
There might be event settings available that is not applicable to the product
with the current setup.

9.30.1:L1
There might be features currently explained in the help files that may not be
supported by the camera.

9.10.1:L1
It is recommended to perform firmware recovery to rollback the products firmware
to a previous version.

Downgrading the products firmware through the usual firmware upgrade process can
cause configuration and ACAP loss. It is recommended to perform a factory
default afterwards.

9.10.1:L2
Parts of the privacy mask may become invisible in rare occasions during
configuration. If this happens, please try to modify the mask slightly.

9.10.1:L3
If using any of following analytics VMD/CLD/DAT/Guard Suite (Motion, Fence &
Loitering) together with view areas and digital PTZ, the detection is offset and
therefore will give an inaccurate detection.
