Please follow the instructions from the user's manual, the web page at http://www.axis.com/techsup/cam_servers/how_to_upgrade.htm or the file named howtoupgrade.txt. New features ============ 5.80.1:F01 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. 5.80.1:F02 Axis is now extending SNMP with AXIS Video MIB (Management Information Base). The Video MIB enables notification of a number of possible disruptions in Axis products such as fan failure, temperature limits, storage disruptions, tampering, video/audio connectors disconnect, etc via SNMP traps. Available traps depend on the Axis product. A MIB is released for Axis products. See http://www.axis.com/techsup/software/index.htm for more information. 5.80.1:F03 Axis firmware now has the ability to auto-format an SD card to a specified file system upon insertion. This will allow an easy installation of a new SD card that will be formatted automatically to a preselected file system, mounted and recording will be resumed. 5.80.1:F04 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 of scene is ongoing or not. 5.80.1:F05 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 always see the complete page without the need to scroll. 5.80.1:F06 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. 5.80.1:F07 The Export Video Clip capability enables the export of recordings directly from the camera to a PC or a smartphone. Select the wanted portion of an Edge Storage recording from your camera and export them as playable video file to a client. The exported recording will be one playable matroska file. 5.80.1:F08 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 anymore. SSH is not enabled by default but can be activated by an API. 5.80.1:F09 Secure FTP (SFTP) is now supported allowing a more secure file transfer method. 5.80.1:F10 Edge Storage robustness is improved with features to detect and repair faults due to unexpected loss of storage media. 5.80.1:F11 Storage limit offers a possibility to control how much storage space may be used for recordings. This is available via VAPIX. 5.80.1:F12 Axis network cameras now support NAS drives over 2TB. 5.80.1:F13 Storage manager collects information about SD card usage. This feature is included for investigation purposes. 5.80.1:F14 AXIS Video Motion Detection 3, which includes Axis False Alarm Filtering, is now a pre-installed ACAP application and it replaces the built-in Motion Detection in the product Web GUI. The built-in Motion Detection is still available via VAPIX so VMS solutions using it are not affected. Axis strongly recommends current users of the Motion Detection API to plan for transfer to the AXIS Video Motion Detection 3 API, please see VAPIX Library. 5.80.1:F15 Available ONVIF Media Profiles are now presented and configurable using the product Web GUI. 5.80.1:F16 With SD Card Encryption it is now possible to enable encryption of the SD card to protect your data. This encryption is transparent to users and VMS solutions making it possible to activate without adaptations. This feature is presented and configurable both in the Web GUI and via VAPIX. 5.80.1:F17 Start-up of the product is now optimized and the time until the first video is delivered from the product is reduced by an average 20%.
