The information applies to:

• LuxRiot 1.1.x up to 1.1.17

Symptoms

When a camera is set up to record video being motion controlled and motion detector is then disabled, the data is recorded as if motion detector is enabled but no motion detected. That is, data is recorded with frame rate set up for still recording, or not recoreded at all if no still video is configured for recording.

Resolution

The fix for the problem will be included into next LuxRiot update, LuxRiot 1.1.18.

The motion detection analysis performance improvment dramatically increases speed of analysis for cameras of large resolutions (especially Arecont, IQeye cameras).

Other minor improvements provide slight increase in data processing which has effect on network/IP cameras of all models.

The changes will be available with LuxRiot 1.1.18.

Symptoms

Extended debug tracing installations of LuxRiot (i.e. the ones with -t suffix in file name) contain executables that may crash in case CPU supports Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature (Execute Disable Bit). The applications will silently stop, typically without error message. An information entry is written to system event log.
Resolution

A temporary workaround for the problem is to set up LuxRiot application as DEP exceptions as descibed below.
