Upgrade Firmware

Firmware is software that determines the functionality of electronic devices. Always use the latest ﬁrmware to ensure that your

device has the latest functionality and improvements.

With an Internet connection, you can check for updates and download ﬁrmware directly via AXIS Camera Station Client. If the

client is installed on a computer without access to the Internet, new ﬁrmware can instead be imported from a ﬁle (for example on a

hard disk or memory stick).
