New features in 6.50.1 since 5.55.2.2 ===================================== 6.50.1:F1 AXIS VMD 4 is preinstalled. 6.50.1:F2 OpenSSL version updated to 1.0.2j. 6.50.1:F3 Video overlay text size can now be set for each individual stream profile. 6.50.1:F4 If Network Share is setup to use DNS host name as host and if the IP address changes after mount, the host name is resolved to current IP address. 6.50.1:F5 Edge storage recording robustness is improved with an automatic database repair feature. 6.50.1:F6 Log messages from Action engine now includes information regarding which action rule triggered the event. 6.50.1:F7 The Axis Java Applet is now signed with a trusted certificate. For more information on supported Java versions, see http://www.axis.com/techsup/. 6.50.1:F8 Firmware 5.60 extends the ACAP SDK which gives new possibilities to develop ACAPs. It is also possible to enable multiple ACAP applications to run simultaneously. 6.50.1:F9 Extended SNMP with AXIS Video MIB (Management Information Base). Enables notification of a number of possible disruptions in Axis Products e.g. fan failure, temperature limits, storage disruptions, tampering, video/audio connectors disconnect, via SNMP traps. Available traps depend on the Axis product. A MIB is released for Axis products more information available at: http://www.axis.com/techsup/software/index.htm. 6.50.1:F10 Auto-format an SD card to a specified file system upon insertion. This will allow easy installation of a new SD card that will be formatted automatically to a preselected file system, mounted and then recording will be resumed. 6.50.1:F11 Edge Storage recording makes it possible to indicate e.g. on the Live View, that an edge storage recording is ongoing. This allows the operator to be notified if a recording is ongoing or not. 6.50.1:F12 The Live View page is updated with responsive design and scales with different screen resolutions and browser window sizes. This will allow the user to see the complete page without the need to scroll. 6.50.1:F13 For all megapixel products, a new default viewing profile for HDTV resolution has been added. This viewing profile is visible in the Live View and is beneficial for demonstration purposes. 6.50.1:F14 The Export Video Clip capability enables the export of recordings directly from the camera to a PC or a smartphone. Select a portion of an Edge Storage recording from your camera and export as a playable video file to a client. The exported recording will be one playable Matroska file. 6.50.1:F15 SSH command line interface to the products that may be used for specific support and maintenance activities was introduced in 5.50. SSH is now the only supported protocol to establish a connection and telnet is not supported. SSH is not enabled by default but can be activated by an API. 6.50.1:F16 Support for the NTCIP ACAP. 6.50.1:F17 It is now possible to have recurrence in seconds. 6.50.1:F18 SNMP MIB r/w OID values are saved after reboot. 6.50.1:F19 Secure FTP (SFTP) is now supported for a more secure file transfer method. 6.50.1:F20 Edge Storage robustness is improved with features to detect and repair faults due to unexpected loss of storage media. 6.50.1:F21 Storage limit offers a possibility to control how much storage space may be used for recordings.
