Raymarine Axiom Software update question

[DipperToo]

I have an Axiom 12+ and 7+ networked and added a Gadinan camera which works well via a Teltonika ethernet switch.

I see that the latest Axion software (August 2025) has a change listed as 'Changes made to RTSP stream username/password'.

I am reluctant to just update in case this is some way of preventing third party cameras operating, or does anyone know the specifics of this update which implies changes to how the Axion interfaces to IP cameras?

Thanks.

You will almost certainly get more replies to this question on the motorboat forum, lots of guys on there running 3rd party cameras with Raymarine MFDs.

Perhaps ask a mod to move this there ?

This is just me musing really, rather than advice for the OP, but when I have a bit of tech that’s working well, I avoid software updates like the plague. I fully admit to being a bit of a technophobe though. I seem to recall there were issues with Raymarine Lighthouse (?) updates on their chartplotter a while back.

A raymarine service agent told me to always be one update behind if possible. Let others bear the brunt of software bugs
