A vulnerability has been resolved in Alta Aware and Avigilon Ava cameras.

See: Reference: Security advisories

Issue: As the localized text in the Aware user interface is added, there may be instances where some English terms still appear in the translated versions, or where the translated text might not correctly fit or align within the user interface design.

Email AwareBeta@motorolasolutions.com if you can suggest any improvements for the translations.

Issue: If the Flex LED brightness is turned up, and the camera is placed close to a reflective surface, then the camera may oscillate between day and night mode.

Workaround: Either reposition the camera, or reduce the LED brightness.

Issue: When adding third-party cameras to Aware using the Automatic protocol option, Aware might not be able to successfully add the camera.

Workaround: If a third-party camera fails to be added correctly, try again using the Onvif protocol option.
