or howtoupgrade.txt, which is included in the firmware folder.


New features in 9.40.1
================================================================================

9.40.1:F1
Added support for search functionality in help files.

9.40.1:F2
Added support for systemready.cgi which will improve re-connection of the
browser to the web-interface after e.g. powercyle or restart of the product.

9.40.1:F3
Added support for average bitrate control (ABR).

9.40.1:F4
Added support for automatic firmware rollback verfication. The user can chose to
select this option prior to performing an firmware upgrade. When chosen, the
product will perform the upgrade and then wait a pre-defined time for the user
to acknowledge the upgrade in the web-interface. If not acknowledged in time,
the product will rollback to its previous firmware.

9.40.1:F5
Added support for the possibility to configure a secondary NTP server in web-
interface under Settings -> System -> Date & Time or via VAPIX Time API.

9.40.1:F6
Removed the root users default password in factory defaulted firmware. The
password of the root user must be set first in order to initialize VAPIX and
ONVIF interfaces to allow further configuration.
This change only affects products in its factory defaulted state, products that
are already deployed in production systems are not affected by this update until
factory defaulted. For more information please see
https://www.axis.com/support/faq/FAQ116429.

9.40.1:F7
Added support for uploading custom firmware certificates in the web-interface
under Settings -> System -> Security in order to allow the Axis product to
accept AXIS developer firmware during firmware upgrade.

Added support for millisecond timestamps in JPEG header.


Features in 9.30.1.2
================================================================================

9.30.1:F1

stream via SSM:

Network.RTP.R#.VideoAddress
Network.RTP.R#.VideoPort
Network.RTP.R#.AudioAdress
Network.RTP.R#.AudioPort

9.30.1:F4

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.

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.

9.10.1:L4
It is recommended to stop any ongoing continuous recordings before upgrading the
firmware. Otherwise, the recorded view might get corrupted. If that happens,
please stop and restart the recording again.

It is recommend to refresh the browser with F5 after doing a FW upgrade from FW
6.xx to 8.xx or higher in order to show all the new settings in the web-
interface.
