New features ============ 5.70.1:F1 Firmware 5.70 extends the ACAP SDK which gives new possibilities to develop ACAP's. It is also possible to enable multiple ACAP applications to run simultaneously. 5.70.1:F2 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. 5.70.1:F3 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. 5.70.1:F4 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. 5.70.1:F5 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. 5.70.1:F6 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. 5.70.1:F7 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. 5.70.1:F8 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. 5.70.1:F9 Secure FTP (SFTP) is now supported allowing a more secure file transfer method. 5.70.1:F010 Edge Storage robustness is improved with features to detect and repair faults due to unexpected loss of storage media. 5.70.1:F011 Storage limit offers a possibility to control how much storage space may be used for recordings. This is available via VAPIX. 5.70.1:F012 Axis network cameras now support NAS drives over 2TB. 5.70.1:F013 Storage manager collects information about SD card usage.

The recordings will however still be present on the card but not accessible. 5.70.1:L11 Time modifiers used in the field "Create folder" is only used upon activation of the rule, hence no new folders are created with the current time during an active rule.
