Known Issues

• slow response of web server during picture analysis
• spontaneous reboots (mostly due to html access during image processing) - self recovery implemented

---

General remark: Beside the firmware.bin, typically also the content of /html needs to be updated!

6.3.0 Image Processing in Memory - (2021-03-14)
