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 |
|---|---|
| 7378 | Issue: When creating a new Server group, you are walked through the process of creating a Site for that group. However, the Site is not correctly set up and you need to re-add the Site after the Server group has been created. |
| 7365 | Issue: If you perform a search from a maximized view in the Devices or the Map view tool, when you return to the view a spinner is displayed. |
| 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. |
| 6735 | Issue: When using Avigilon Ava cloud-native cameras, any system alarms or 123 Counts rules that are triggered do not include the thumbnail images in the email notifications. |
| 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. |
| 5817 | Issue: In Alta Video, you can rotate the view from an Avigilon Ava camera in 90° steps. However, from the Avigilon Ava camera software, you can only rotate the view in 180° steps. Attempting to apply rotations from both the Alta Video software and from the Avigilon Ava camera software can cause the camera rotation to become out of sync. |
| 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 Alta Video is ignored, and the stream uses the rotation settings from the camera. |
| General | Issue: If third-party cameras do not support the multiple streams or the GOP profiles required by the Avigilon Alta Alta Video video management system, these incompatibilities might impact the accuracy of the Avigilon Alta analytics. |
