ssnapier 0 Posted March 9, 2013 This is primarily focused on the S14 an T24, but all "4" series cameras apply to this update. Link to firmware Here are the release notes for this version: Software Release MX-V4.1.4.70 – for all Q24M, D24M, M24M T24M, D14Di and S14 Cameras Creation Date: 2013-03-04 Publishing Date: 2013-03-07 Notes on Upgrading – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: This software version contains important enhancements and improvements. Before running the upgrade, you should be aware of the changes and the limitations of this version (see Known Limitations section below), since downgrading to older versions 4.0.4.x on T24M cameras is only possible with assistance from MOBOTIX Support. Make sure that you save the current camera configuration to the computer before running the upgrade. When upgrading the software, the camera automatically adjusts the camera configuration in several sections. Note that you cannot use such an adjusted and stored configuration on cameras with software releases lower than 4.1.x. After uploading a D12D configuration file to a D14Di, make sure that you check the resulting configuration to ensure that it is functioning properly and adjust it, if required. Enhancements and Improvements Support for the new MOBOTIX App for iPhone, iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch This version contains many internal enhancements to support the new MOBOTIX App for Apple devices. This software is a mandatory update if you want to use the MOBOTIX App and all of its features with door stations and other cameras. Important features such as the reduction of image resolution and frame rates to limit bandwidth requirements when remotely operating the cameras or optimizations when playing back stored video and audio data are now part of the camera software. This includes the introduction of a GSM phone call fallback, which is used if the camera cannot reach the MOBOTIX App via a TCP connection. Open the Admin Menu > Video Door Station > Bell Behavior and Video Mailbox dialog to activate this feature. Make sure you have already defined a corresponding phone profile. New HD and FullHD Image Formats This software support the new 16:9 image formats HD (1280x720 pixels) and FullHD (1920x1080 pixels). Note: These image formats have a different aspect ratio than the camera's CMOS image sensor (4:3). It is therefore NOT possible to use these image formats for Full Image recording, since this would mean that parts of the full sensor image would get lost. Changed "Normal" Image Quality and Factory Default The behavior of the image quality setting Normal has been changed for XGA (1024x768 pixels) and MEGA (1280x960 pixels) resolutions. This setting now results in a slightly improved frame rate, but also shows a slightly reduced image quality. To achieve a better, i.e., the best image quality, it is still recommended to use the Image Quality=High setting. In accordance with this change, the factory default has been changed from Normal to High. When using the XGA factory default resolution, the results corresponds exactly to the result of the predecessor version. Other Enhancements, Improvements and Changes Full Image recording for T24 cameras Full Image recording has been deactivated for T24 cameras as per factory default setting. Frame rate optimization for recording If applications do not request a live image stream from the camera, specific settings result in a higher frame rate when recording. Loading PTZ positions When switching pre-defined PTZ positions, the camera switches directly to the new position instead of slowly moving to the new position. Adjusted microphone noise suppression Noise suppression (also active if echo cancellation has been activated), has been reduced. ActiveX with new certificate The certificate of the ActiveX control version 1.7.1.0 has been renewed. Calculation of flash cell wear The internal calculation of flash cell wear has been adjusted. Notes: This means that the displayed values may increase after updating the software and resetting the camera to factory defaults. You can adjust this value by editing the MAXIMUM_BLOCK_SWEEPS parameter in the fileserver section of the configuration file (Admin Menu > Configuration > Edit). Dialogs in Turkish All dialogs of this release (except the online help) are available in Turkish. Bugfixes Audio from T24 Door Stations to Grandstream on bell sound When using a camera sound to signal the ringing of a T24 doorbell, the SIP connection to a Grandstream IP phone only showed the video, but did not contain the sound. Call forwarding when using SIP servers Forwarding a call when using an external or the internal SIP server of the camera did not work. Polycom phones did not succeed in establishing a Video SIP connection to the camera Establishing a Video SIP connection (H.264) from a Polycom phone to the camera is not possible. In order to establish connections from Polycom phones, you need to edit the configuration file of the camera (Admin Menu > Configuration > Edit) and add the line VOIPVIDEOSENDRECV=1 to the audionotify section. Initial view of the Grandstream GXV3140 did not show full image when calling the camera from the phone Due a change in the Grandstream software, the camera was unable to change the default view of the Grandstream phone to full image. Rather, the Grandstream phone used its default Picture-in-Picture view. System restore from Grandstream phone deletes its own web password When restoring the system from a Grandstream phone, the phone deleted the password for its own web access by setting the password to "empty". Subsequent attempts of Auto Configuration to change the password failed. You had to manually set a new password in the phone's web interface. MxPEG recognition problems for dark objects/image areas on D14 and S14 cameras with Night sensors In these cases, the night sensor of the cameras showed tiling artefacts with delayed recognition of images changes. Time-based filter against image noise on dark illumination situations on D14 and S14 camera models The image noise filter for moving objects has been improved. Not possible to activate Full Image Recording on IP Video Door Stations (T24) When activating Full Image Recording on an IP Video Door Station (T24), the camera used the default settings for recording instead. Number of phone profiles of SIP-capable camera models limited to 20 The number of definable phone profiles for outbound calls (Admin Menu > Outgoing Calls Settings) has been increased to 150. Video calls to Cisco9971 When executing video VoIP calls to a Cisco 9971 phone using Cisco Call Manager, the video did not work properly. Software update using Safari on OS X Mountain Lion When using Safari on this OS X version, it was not possible to update the software of a camera. Known Limitations No specific Door Station functionality for S14 available This camera model cannot be used in conjunction with the DoorMaster or the KeypadRFID module. Likewise, neither Door Station auto configuration for Grandstream phones nor manually setting up a mailbox are supported. "Object Tracing" feature It is not possible to use the Object Tracing (OT) option in Hemispheric cameras with L11 lenses and other cameras with L22 lenses, on which you have set the corresponding lens in the Admin Menu > Lens Configuration dialog. If you would like to use this feature anyhow on a camera with L22 lens, you can set a different lens (e.g. L43) in the dialog; note that this means that the distortion correction will not work any more. Problems in MxAnalytics when using custom image settings When using MxAnalytics together with custom image areas or rotated/mirrored images, MxAnalytics results may not be correct. Display of SD card encryption key After entering an encryption key in the Formatter Wizard: MxFFS Volume Partitioning dialog and closing the wizard, the Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device dialog will not show the encryption key. The dialog will only show the key after you have reloaded the dialog. VoIP remote stations not reachable after updating T24 Video Door Stations with software 4.0.4.28 After updating a T24 Video Door Station with software 4.0.4.28 to 4.1.4.10, the configured VoIP remote stations (e.g. Grandstream video phones) are not reachable any more. This can be repaired by manually setting the proper SIP proxy in the Admin Menu > Outgoing Calls Settings dialog. Window definition for D14Di-Sec-180° models For this model, exposure windows, video motion windows, and obscured area windows can only be defined in the Full Image display mode. Translations Some translations are missing on all language versions other than English and German in the web browser interface of the camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
