Known issues
(back to top)During testing, we have found the following issues in this release.
These software versions have been extensively tested on the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, using the Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers.
| Reference | Issue |
|---|---|
| 8018 | Issue: In some circumstances on a clustered deployment, if you set up a line-crossing rule on one site, and enable it from another site, when the rule triggers and you acknowledge the alarm as False, the alarm is seen on the first site, but not on the site from where it was enabled. |
| 7983 | Issue: When using Ava Aware cloud to configure webhooks from Ava cloud-native cameras, the $url value is not being included in the webhook. |
| 7549 | Issue: When searching from the Video view timeline on Ava Aware cloud, when you click the forward or back 1 second icons, the video pauses and the bounding boxes disappear. |
| 7135 | Issue: For Ava cloud-native cameras, alarms and anomalies might remain in the list on the Alarms page after the corresponding video has been deleted. |
| 6911 | Issue: If you set a dewarped panoramic view in Video view, and then move to another Aware tab, occasionally, when you return to Video view, the panoramic view resets to Globe view. |
| 6232 | Issue: When using the delete recordings function to delete all recordings including bookmarks, all the video and metadata are deleted, but the bookmark items themselves are not removed. |
| 5461 | Issue: When searching for Gender, the results returned from Pano cameras feature a higher than desirable level of false-positive responses. As more test clips are added to the training models, this level of false-positive will improve. |
| 5406 | Issue: When requesting an RTSP stream, any camera view rotation that has been configured in Ava Aware is ignored, and the stream uses the rotation settings from the camera. See: |
| General | Issue: If third-party cameras do not support the multiple streams or the GOP profiles required by the Ava Security Ava Aware video management system, these incompatibilities might impact the accuracy of the Ava Security analytics. |
