This firmware is now available. Please visit the product's support page on www.axis.com for the download, full release notes and installation instructions.
New Features
================
5.40.9.2:F01 Edge storage with support for CIFS/SMB (Microsoft Network share).
5.40.9.2:F02 The internal Event Management system has been redesigned and
VAPIX has been extended with a new Event-API based on Web-Services.
Utask has been removed and with that the possibility to start
scripts and applications from user.task.list.
The legacy user action rules in the camera will continue to work
but will not be visible in the camera user interface unless
converted to the new design.
Event Management user interface (GUI) has been redesigned.
For more information please see User's manual.
5.40.9.2:F03 Always Multicast. Provides the ability to multicast video
regardless of whether clients are accessing the streams or not.
5.40.9.2:F04 ONVIF 1.02 support.
5.40.9.2:F05 Server Report download. Possibility to download a ZIP-file server
report (with or without camera snapshot). This simplifies the
process of attaching the server report when submitting a support
ticket.
5.40.9.2:F06 Storage Management
1. Clean up policy is enabled by default and the default value
for the parameter is 1 week.
2. Parameter for clean up level is in the Plain Config and default
is set at approximately 90% of the storage device capacity.
3. The start time of a recording is updated when data is removed
due to clean up policy.
5.40.9.2:F07 Power line frequency has been introduced.
After setting initial root password, select the power line frequency
(50 Hz or 60 Hz) used at the location of the Axis product.
Selecting the right frequency will reduce image flicker if the product
is used in fluorescent light environments.
When using 50 Hz, the maximum frame rate is limited to 25 fps.
Note: After initial configuration, power line frequency can only
be changed through Plain Config (capture frequency parameter)
or by resetting the product to factory default.

================
5.40.9.2:C01 Encoding of email subject is now correct for some special
characters (åäö etc.).
5.40.9.2:C02 Web services parameter is removed and thus status from the System

administrator in the Security -> ONVIF settings.
5.40.9.2:C03 RTP over RTSP over HTTP with other than default http port works
as expected.

5.40.9.2:C07 Configuration of time zone for Australia appears correctly
in the web interface.
5.40.9.2:C08 It is possible to use HTTPS and port forwarding.
5.40.9.2:C09 It is possible to add IP addresses to the IP filter list in
the web interface.
5.40.9.2:C10 Up to 127 characters can be used in the 'From email address'
field.
5.40.9.2:C11 Image with 800x450 resolution and 90 or 270 degrees rotation is
displayed correctly.
5.40.9.2:C12 The DHCP option for IPV4 is removed when IPv6 is enabled
while IPv4 is disabled. The IPv6 address is included in the
mail body of an SMTP test mail.
5.40.9.2:C13 The event combination option "Include pre-trigger buffer" and
"Upload as long as the trigger is active" works together.
5.40.9.2:C14 Clicking on the save button after making changes to
the exposure window setting works correctly.
5.40.9.2:C15 Event or event server can now be added, modified or deleted
without all running events being stopped and restarted.
5.40.9.2:C16 Boundary check added when entering a motion detection window
name to prevent the parhand application to restart if the name is
more than 1024 charachters long.
5.40.9.2:C17 The NTP client will also synchronize to NTP servers that
signal an alarm condition (clock not synchronized) in its Leap
Indicator.
5.40.9.2:C18 Initial logging with creating self-signed certificate does not require
extra login as 'root' with password 'pass'.
5.40.9.2:C19 The parameter Message="" is no longer added to the http notification
URL when the Message field is empty.
5.40.9.2:C20 Double & are no longer present in HTTP notification. The Action rule
gives a valid URI.
5.40.9.2:C21 Videokeyframeinterval=1 with userdata enabled gives expected H.264 stream.

snooping.
5.40.9.2:C27 HTTP upload event with authentication works as expected.
5.40.9.2:C28 The trigger type for tampering is reported with the correct value
(T0:/ instead of T1:/).
5.40.9.2:C29 An adjustment for intermittently twitching stream during higher load has been made.
5.40.9.2:C30 Corrected an intermittent AVHS logging issue (since 5.40.9).
Known Bugs/Limitations
================
5.40.9.2:L01 The image is always showed with zero rotation at the Exposure
settings page.
5.40.9.2:L02 The effect of backlight compensation on/off may not be noticeable.
5.40.9.2:L03 Stream profile names are limited to alphanumerical characters.
5.40.9.2:L04 After re-configuring the date/time of the camera, the video stream might stop
with an RTSP session time out.
Workaround: Reconnect to the stream.
5.40.9.2:L05 AXIS Media Control client may stop displaying the H.264 video
stream after the PC has been locked.
5.40.9.2:L06 If a customer is trying to upload a very large file instead of a
valid language file, a "404 page cannot be displayed" page is
shown.
5.40.9.2:L07 When the policy is set to HTTPS, this must apply to all three groups
admin, viewer and operator. If this is not the case and someone is
connecting with HTTP the re-direct page will not show.
5.40.9.2:L08 When snapshot is taken during live view with frame rate and bandwidth
values enabled as text overlay, the values are shown as 0 in the snapshot.
This happens for H.264 stream.
5.40.9.2:L09 Selected motion detection window changes/switches every time one chooses
'View All Windows' followed by 'View Selected Window'. Observerd behaviour
in Firefox and IE8 using Java.
5.40.9.2:L10 Adding color=0 to the rtsp video link will not result in
black&white image. Set color to 0 in Camera Settings instead.
5.40.9.2:L11 Frame Size Control does not affect the size of the snapshot taken with
the upper right control that can be added to the Live View.
5.40.9.2:L12 Constant bit rate might fluctuate more than 10%.
5.40.9.2:L13 Events triggered at the same time, will by default settings
share the same filename. This may result in upload of corrupted
image.
5.40.9.2:L14 If RTSP authentication is switched off, streaming H.264 with QuickTime
and other Apple compatible clients will not work as they require
authentication of the RTSP, but do not allow HTTP authentication.
5.40.9.2:L15 When using action rule resulting in short recordings, it is recommended
to extend post-event time.
5.40.9.2:L16 Date modifiers "%m-%d-%Y" are not formatted correctly when used
with folder name, SMTP subject and message.
5.40.9.2:L17 For ONVIF, GetCapabilities returns incorrect port number in XAddr
when web server port is changed to something else than 80.
