I/O: * During the nightly maintenance job, Action rules using I/O trigger with I/O module will trigger Alarms if set to normally closed: - Use the 'Device Event' trigger and trigger on the digital input instead of using I/O trigger, if possible. - Device Event is available from firmware 5.40 or higher and for I/O module firmware 1.65 or higher. - Older devices such as P8221 cannot use device events. - Please see more information at: https://www.axis.com/support/faq//FAQ116423 Configurations: * Image configuration: Image configuration do not support multi-channel cameras. All changes are applied to the first channel only. Playback: * Seeking on the timeline of an H.264 and H.265 recording gives an image of the closest preceding I-frame instead of showing the actual image at the chosen position. Storage: * If a network disk is configured in AXIS Camera Station Pro, then afterwards physically removed from the network, there is a risk that the disk can't be removed from the AXIS Camera Station Pro configuration. Third-party devices: * H.265, image configuration and I/O management are not supported. * Audio support for third-party devices: G.711, one-way - from the device to AXIS Camera Station Pro. * AXIS Installation Verifier: Not supported. * AXIS Camera Station Pro System Health Monitoring: Not supported. * Motion detection cannot be configured for third-party devices. Translation: * Action button and Action rule name that are automatically created by AXIS Camera Station Pro are not translated. They can manually be changed in the Action rule configuration to have the correct translation. Asset list: * Only Axis desktops terminal will be included in the Asset list export file. * Only the desktop terminal that the asset register file is exported from will be included in the Asset list export file. Audio: * Push-to-talk for half duplex mode: - If there are two views of the same device in the split view, and both are selected, the hotkey for push-to-talk/speak will request to speak to that device twice, which may cause some errors. - If someone calls from a door station while voice communication is already in progress, the door station will get stuck calling, while the call is still ongoing. Automatic NTP configuration of devices: * Not all third-party devices added to ACS support setting NTP configuration. * Configuration of time zone is not part of the NTP protocol and will not be updated when synchronizing a device clock against an NTP server. AXIS Camera Station Pro will not set any time zone in devices automatically, because the time zones supported by the camera firmware might be different from the time zone used on the AXIS Camera Station Pro server. AXIS Secure Remote Access: * Servers that appear in the Remote Server drop-down list cannot be deleted after they have been successfully added to Secure Remote Access. AXIS Camera Station Secure Entry: * Optimized for resolution 1920x1080 and scale set to 100%. * Doors and door actions are not available in the mobile app. * Changing language is not fully supported. Set the correct language in the installation phase. * Secure Entry pages not showing after changing the server name. Please contact https://www.axis.com/support/helpdesk for help. * Replacing a schedule under Access Management zone configuration requires removal of the old schedule, save and reopen the zone before applying a new schedule. * Long access time does not work if identification type is configured as "card only" and cardholder has a duress pin configured. * Name changes of an access rule might not affect an action rule triggering on the access rule filter under device event. * Pre-Alarm warning under Device event/Door open too long in AXIS Camera Station Pro action rules has no effect. * Having multiple Access Management tabs opened on several clients could potentially cause a mismatch of newly added data. Recommend to only use one Access Management tab at a time. * The confirmation dialog before entering Lockdown state will only be displayed in the Dashboard tab, while assistance options (manually Unlock, Lock and Access door) will be disabled. There is no confirmation dialog in the Transaction tab. * Changing cardholder group information in the Cardholder tab will not update the information properly: Please use the Group tab to edit content. * Editing the Identification type of a door is considered to be a reconfiguration of a door and will put it in locked state, hence a manually unlocked door will be locked. * Requirement: To use the Intercom as an IP Reader, HTTPS must be enabled on the Intercom as well as on the Door controller. AXIS Camera Station Pro Smart Search 2: * Metadata will only be recorded after enabling Smart search 2. Hence historic data is not searchable. * Using only motion detection triggered recordings will result in detections without video recordings. Continuous recording is recommended. * Classification of object types and detection accuracy will be negatively affected by low image quality due to high compression levels or by weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow, low resolution, cameras with heavy distortion, large field of view, excessive vibrations, non-moving objects are not detected, small and distant objects might not be detected. * Color classification will not work in darkness or with IR illumination. Make sure that the lighting conditions are within the camera specification. Use additional lighting if needed. * Body worn cameras are not supported. * Object classification is not supported for thermal cameras. * For cameras with view areas, only the primary view area is supported and the view area must not be cropped. * There are known issues with mirrored and rotated camera streams for devices with ARTPEC-7 (or higher) if the firmware version is lower than 10.6. * Cropped camera streams are not supported. * Area and Line crossing camera filters for PTZ cameras will only work as expected for fixed views (i.e., when not moving around). * Cameras must support streaming analytics metadata over RTSP (a.k.a. MOTE). For cameras with firmware version lower than 9.60, the AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) app AXIS Video Content Stream (Metadata) is required (can be installed by AXIS Camera Station Pro). * High or very variable network latency may affect classification since it leads to time synchronization issues when classifying detections in snapshots based on analytics metadata. * Unknown behavior using cameras with heavy distortion or large field of view. * If camera tilt orientation is changed, the camera needs to be restarted in order for the changes to be applied in Smart search 2. * There are known issues with missed detections for cameras using analytics with deep learning (i.e. M4308-PLE, P3255-LVE, Q1615 Mk III, Q1715 or any ARTPEC-8 device) if the firmware version is lower than 10.11. * There are known issues with duplicate detections for cameras with firmware version 10.10 and above if using multiple metadata producers. * Smart search 2 can not play preview video for detections if the camera is using H.265 (HEVC) video format. An image is displayed as fallback. Go to the recording for the detection to view the video." * Smart search 2 can not guarantee disk space allocation when using shortcut/symlinks for the data storage location." * It’s not possible to enable background server classification for radar. AXIS Camera Station Pro System Health Monitoring – Public Beta: * Storage: Used space for cameras connected to AXIS S3008 is not supported. * Inactivated storage devices will be visible and gathered data kept for up to 2 weeks. * Notification settings only affects local System Health Monitoring server. * Retention warnings do not support motion detection recordings. * Recordings created with other means than "continuous” or "motion detection” (e.g. Manual/Events, etc.) are flagged with "Recording type: None”. Windows related: * AXIS Camera Station Pro will use the current regional settings from Windows but will not make use of any custom settings e.g. numeric separators etc. * For Windows 10 N editions: The Media Feature Pack is required to install AXIS Camera Station Pro Server and Client: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack. - Installing the standalone Windows Media Player is not sufficient. Windows 10 N editions are not part of the official Axis QA testing. * Windows Server 2016 Core and Nano versions are not supported due to lack of Windows Media Player. * AXIS Camera Station Pro client requires "Desktop Composition" to be enabled. Current limitation with other AXIS products ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AXIS Camera Station Pro Mobile App: * Only H.264 and H.265 is supported. No support for MPEG-4 or MJPEG. * Not possible to connect to multiple servers simultaneously. * No warning is displayed if the MyAxis account password has been changed. AXIS Body Worn solution: * Removing a virtual camera from AXIS Camera Station Pro does not trigger the corresponding user to be removed from the AXIS Body Worn system (AXIS Body Worn manager), AXIS Camera Station Pro will not accept any uploads for an AXIS Body Worn user without a corresponding virtual camera. * Removing a user in the AXIS Body Worn system does not trigger the corresponding virtual camera to be removed from AXIS Camera Station Pro. * Live view is not supported by AXIS Body Worn cameras and will display "Not supported by the camera" if selected. * Renaming a body warn camera in AXIS Camera Station Pro will not affect the name of the user in the AXIS Body Worn system. * Removing a physical AXIS Body Worn camera in the AXIS Body Worn manager currently has a ten-minute delay before being removed from the license system in AXIS Camera Station Pro. AXIS T83: * Keypad backlight control is disabled since AXIS Camera Station version 5.23.107 AXIS Intercom: * If someone calls from a door station while voice communication is already in progress (push-to-talk), the door station will get stuck calling, while the call is still ongoing. AXIS T85 PoE+ Network Switch Series: * Password must be set in the device's webpage. It’s not possible to set the password on T85xx series from within AXIS Camera Station Pro. AXIS T8705 Decoder: * The decoder does not support: camera with permission error, maps, web pages, sequence in split views, hotspots. * Any AXIS Camera Station Pro user with access to live view can send views to the decoder. * Camera and decoder must be added to the same server. * Corridor format is limited to the height supported by the decoder * Stream reuse on ACS server does not apply to the streams used by the decoder. * Currently no native support of stopping the decoder from streaming of the current view. * Support for third-party cameras is limited and is to a great extend untested. * Decoder specific user account used on Axis Cameras are not applicable to third-party cameras. * Hence third-party cameras will be using root credentials for T8705. * AXIS M7011 needs to be configured to use same streaming profile for high, medium and low to be supported by both AXIS Camera Station Pro and AXIS T8705. Video stitching for P3807-PVE: - Capture mode needs to be set to "forensic WDR (client dewarp)". VMD 4 Multi-Sensor/Channel Devices: * From AXIS Camera Station Pro it is only possible to edit the first VMD4 profile on each sensor/channel. * AXIS Camera Station Pro will trigger on all profiles for the camera (sensor/channel) 2N Devices: * 2N IP Intercom products door station support: - Requires firmware 2.30 or later - Device management through AXIS Camera Station Pro is not supported.
