Known Bugs/Limitations
======================

5.55.6:L1   When the automatic IR cut filter enables/disables the filter,
            it may trigger motion detection.

5.55.6:L2   It is possible to remove a configured event schedule when
            it is in use by an action.

5.55.6:L3   Recording to SD-card event will not trigger again if triggered
            while the card was unmounted.

5.55.6:L4   CBR option is not true constant bit-rate, it only limits
            the maximum bit-rate for the stream.

5.55.6:L5   Certification error triggers when attempting to send an email via
            a mail configuration based on the AOL predefined provider.

5.55.6:L6   Some specific combination of events and actions when adding
            an action rule may cause an error pop-up noting "Failed to parse
            topic expression". After continued configuration the rule will
            work as intended.

5.55.6:L7   Video motion detection will detect objects hidden behind
            privacy masks.

5.55.6:L8   The NO VIDEO text overlay will not be shown during startup
            and shutdown of the camera.

5.55.6:L9   The pixel counter scales with the video in when streaming
            H.264 video via AMC which may make it see to use.

5.55.6:L10  A limitation in the image sensor causes a thin black horizontal
            line at the bottom of the image.

5.55.6:L11  Status led will flash red for three times during startup
            while network is being configured.

5.55.6:L12  #p and #P text modifiers does not work for actions triggered
            by motion detection.

5.55.6:L13  Pan limits set using VAPIX are not reflected using ONVIF.

5.55.6:L14  Automatic gain setting needs to be configured to 42dB for the
            use of color optimized Day/Night switch priority setting, otherwise
            night mode will never trigger.

5.55.6:L15  Area of interest is not shown during reconfiguring of detectors
            created when the camera was configured with a different video
            rotation setting.

5.55.6:L16  The live stream is not updated when using tilt arrows in some
            revisions of Internet Explorer 9. The stream will update again once
            the mouse pointer is not hovering over the arrow icon.

5.55.6:L17  Current iris setting indicator is not shown in automatic
            iris mode.

5.55.6:L18  Video stream is not available when using IPv6 with
            Internet Explorer 11 and AMC.

5.55.6:L19  A guard tour interrupted by a pan, tilt or zoom movement
            triggered by the operator may take up to 5 minutes to resume.

5.55.6:L20  After uploading a new application, the installed applications
            list web page needs to be manually reloaded for it to be updated.

5.55.6:L21  Detector limitations
            * Only one instance of the detectors "object removed",
              "enter/exit", "fence" and "counter" can be activated
              at the same time.
            * Adjust the object size to the size of the objects to
              be detected.
            * The detected size might differ from the actual size,
              depending on the shape of the object.
            * Up to 16 detected objects can be displayed at
              the same time.
            * The video analysis capability may degrade in the
              following conditions:
              - The object is close to the camera.
              - The object color or brightness is similar
                to the background.
              - A major scene change.
              - The object is hidden behind other objects.
              - Two or more objects overlap.
              - The object is moving too fast.
              - Reflection, blur or shadow due to direct sunlight,
                illumination or headlamps.
              - Severe snow, rain, wind, dawn or dusk.

5.55.6:L22  IR-cut filter will block in day-mode if it switches on/off
            multiple times within 5 minutes in order to protect the
            hardware. The IR-cut filter will unlock again after detecting
            bright conditions or a user resends the "auto IR-cut" command.

5.55.6:L23  Q6045-C-MkII does not reconfigure its IP address when the media
            converter switch is reconnected to a different network without
            a restart or without waiting until the current DHCP lease have
            expired.
