New Features
============
F01: AXIS Media Control download:
If required, the latest AXIS Media Control version is downloaded and installed automatically when configuring the application. Automatic download and installation requires an Internet connection. For setups without Internet connection, there is also an installation package that includes AXIS Digital Autotracking and the latest AXIS Media Control version.

Correction in 2.1.1 since 2.1.0
===============================
C01: Problem that cameras with 3:2 resolution would display video in wrong resolution on
the configuration page.


Correction in 2.1 since 2.0
===========================
C01: Problem with small object filter incorrect for 90/270 degree rotations now solved:
If the image was rotated 90 or 270 degrees, the small object filter width and height were interchanged.

C02: Problem with small object height could be reset when loading configuration page is solved:
When loading the configuration page, the small object filter height was sometimes reset to its default value.

C03: Problem with cancel from "change view area" setting is solved:
When the “change view area” setting was canceled, the wrong view area was sometimes shown as selected.

C04: Problem with selecting default resolution for P1428 is solved:
When the P1428 was started with AXIS Digital Autotracking the first time the view area was started with 1080p instead of 720p.


Features from previous releases
===============================
F01: Swaying objects:
The swaying object filter is used to avoid detecting objects that only move a short distance, for example moving trees, flags and their shadows.

F02: Short-lived objects:
The short-lived object filter is used to avoid detecting objects that only appear for a short period of time, such as light beams from a passing car and quickly moving shadows.
The number of seconds is the minimum time that must pass before the object is detected.

F03: Small objects:
The small object filter is used to avoid detecting objects that are too small. For example, if only moving cars should be detected, the small object filter can be used to avoid detecting people and animals.

Note: The filters will be applied to all objects in the image, not only to the ones at the location of the visual outline.

F04: Visual confirmation:
Visual confirmation is used to validate that the settings are correct, that is, that all objects that should be detected are detected. When enabled, all moving objects found by AXIS Digital Autotracking will be encircled and followed by polygons.

F05: Starts in Overview:
The selected view area is zoomed out to overview each time the application is restarted.
Note: The default view of Digital Autotracking is always the overview, and can not be altred in the view area settings. Use the include area filter in order to set a region of intreset.

F06: Camera settings verification:
The application checks the camera's current settings each time the application is loaded. If a setting is changed in such a way that AXIS Digital Autotracking is not fully functional, for example if PTZ is disabled, the user will be notified and asked if he/she wants to reconfigure the camera settings.

F07: Save displays include and exclude areas:
When the application is restarted after saving, the include and exclude areas are displayed on the configuration page.

Internet Explorer, and AXIS Media Control (provided by the application).


Considerations
==============
CO1:  It is not recommended to run AXIS Digital Autotracking at the same time as several other Analytics ACAPs.
      This may impact behavior and performance of this application.


Known limitations in version 2.1
================================
KL1:  Could not upload package file; the file is not a valid package. This message is displayed if using a non-supported firmware. Go to axis.com to check compatible products, make sure to use the latest firmware in your camera.
KL2:  Enabling Visual confirmation may introduce video latency.
KL3:  The "xinternal" event is a internal event used within the application.
KL4:  Image Appearance Mirror together with Image Rotation 90 degrees is not supported.
KL5:  AXIS Digital Autotracking is not intended to be used on PTZ cameras.
KL6:  Visual confirmation is disabled after 15 minutes.
KL7:  If the camera’s capture mode is changed during setup, the camera must be restarted for visual confirmation to work correctly.
KL8:  FW 5.60 or later is required in order to keep the configuration settings when updating from DAT 1.1 and DAT 2
KL9:  The configuration page can freeze during setup in cameras with FW 5.70. The risk of this happening is most likely if there is an action rule connected to the AXIS Digital Autotracking event.
