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. 5.90.1:F3 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. 5.90.1: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 is ongoing or not. 5.90.1: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 see the complete page without the need to scroll. 5.90.1:F6 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. 5.90.1:F7 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. 5.90.1:F8 Secure FTP (SFTP) is now supported for a more secure file transfer method. 5.90.1:F9 Edge Storage robustness is improved with features to detect and repair faults due to unexpected loss of storage media. 5.90.1:F10 Storage limit offers a possibility to control how much storage space may be used for recordings. This is available via VAPIX. 5.90.1:F11 Axis network cameras now support NAS drives over 2TB. 5.90.1:F12 Storage manager now collects information about SD card usage. 5.90.1:F13 AXIS Video Motion Detection 3, which includes Axis False Alarm Filtering, is now a pre-installed ACAP application and replaces the built-in Motion Detection in the product Web GUI. The built-in Motion Detection is still available via VAPIX. Axis strongly recommends current users of the Motion Detection API to plan for transfer to the AXIS Video Motion Detection 3 API, please see the VAPIX Library. 5.90.1:F14 Available ONVIF Media Profiles are now presented and configurable using the product Web GUI. 5.90.1:F15 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. 5.90.1:F16 Improved start-up time. 5.90.1:F17 Edge storage recording robustness is improved with an automatic database repair feature. 5.90.1:F18 SNMP MIB r/w OID values are saved after reboot. 5.90.1:F19 Video overlay text size can now be set for each individual stream profile. Corrections ============ 5.90.1:C1 Select "Use Temporary Mode" if during ftp upload temporary files are required. 5.90.1:C2 ONVIF users are now handled when PTZ Control Queue is enabled. 5.90.1:C3 Removed LLDP-MED logs containing spam. 5.90.1:C4 More information to be added here 5.90.1:C5 Improved robustness for Axis ACAPs. 5.90.1:C6 Improved handling of frequent I/O triggering. 5.90.1:C7 When DST is enabled, export recordings can now be done via web interface. 5.90.1:C8 Passwords can now contain "#". 5.90.1:C9 PullMessages now follow the ONVIF specification 9.1.2. 5.90.1:C10 Users with admin permissions can edit ACAP configuration settings. 5.90.1:C11 Manual triggers for all enabled View Areas are shown. 5.90.1:C12 It is now possible to select starting point when playing back a recording while using multicast and H.264. 5.90.1:C13 To increase robustness, a retry of 10 seconds is added for an action rule. If action fails it will retry until it succeeds or until the rule is no longer active. Known Bugs/Limitations ====================== 5.90.1:L1 Recording streams to SD card with a total bit rate above 12Mbit/sec may cause missing frames/sequences. 5.90.1:L2 Text overlays with video data in each stream will not be correct in quad view 5.90.1:L3 If setting the video stream resolution to an invalid value, it is not possible to start streaming without specifying a valid resolution or correcting the video stream resolution to a valid resolution.
