Corrections in 7.20.1.1 since 7.20.1
====================================

7.20.1.1:C1
The image orientation now behaves correctly after a firmware update from 6.15.x to 7.20.


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

7.20.1.1:L1
Recording streams to SD Card with total bit rate above 12Mbit/sec may cause
missing frames/sequences.

7.20.1.1:L2
The following features in Settings -> System will be displayed in English only
as for now: Certificates, ONVIF, HTTPS, IEEE 802.1x, SNMP, Events, Stream
profiles and Detectors. The current chosen language will not have any affect
there.

7.20.1.1:L3
In order to allow the configuration of longer shutter times than 1/30s in the
web-interface, the MaxSlowShutter parameter in System -> PlainConfig -> Image
section needs to be adjusted accordingly first.

7.20.1.1:L4
It is recommended to perform a factory default after downgrading the cameras
firmware if needed.

7.20.1.1:L5
Features currently explained in the help files may not be supported in the
camera.

7.20.1.1:L6
Video streaming H.264 for Safari has been temporarily disabled in the web-
interface because of an bug in the Safari browser.

7.20.1.1:L7
Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and Barrell Distortion Correction (BDC)
cannot be used at the same time even though the web-interface may not reflect
precisely.

7.20.1.1:L8
WDR is shown under Settings -> Image even though a non-WDR capture mode has been
chosen. Enabling WDR has no effect as long as the camera is operating in a non-
WDR capture mode.

7.20.1.1:L9
Camera is not inserting a new I-frame when a 2nd client requests a video stream
via multicast through RTSP which results in additional waiting time before video
streaming starts.

7.20.1.1:L10
Videos that have been recorded using the video capture feature in live view may
not be playable in some media players (e.g. VLC) as it is in an fragmented MP4
format without total video duration.

7.20.1.1:L11
It is not possible to start video streaming when the requesting client asked for
a invalid or not supported resolution.

7.20.1.1:L12
RTSP over TCP may cause choppy video if block size is not optimized or set
during video connection.
