Firmware Upload
The section Firmware Upload allows remote upgrade or downgrade of
camera firmware. The upgrade to newer version is usually done in order to gain new functions or
fix existing bugs or limitations while downgrade to older version is used mostly for integration
purposes where the newly purchased camera model comes with the newer firmware version than
supported by a third party video management system of a given project.
Firmware uploading can be done in two ways, choose to download and select the firmware image
manually or use auto-upgrade function through “Firmware Upload from the Download Center” so
that the camera will connect to internet and find the latest firmware image automatically.
Firmware Upload from Local
To upload the firmware manually, download the firmware image file, which contains the file
extension “.upg”, from the website. Choose “Firmware Upload from Local” and press the Apply
button.
Click Browse to select the downloaded firmware image file. Click the Apply button to start the
upload.
Once the process is finished, you will get an “OK” message and the system will reboot itself.
