Digital Watchdog
Upgrading Camera's Firmware
DW Spectrum allows for Cameras Firmware upgrade from within the application. These settings are
available for Digital Watchdog cameras only.
Note: It is possible to configure Cameras for Administrators and Viewers with an appropriate
permission level.
IMPORTANT. To enable this feature, Camera must have Internet Access.
To go to proprietary camera settings:
1. Open Camera settings and select Advanced
2. Go to Maintenance –> Firmware Upgrade
Note: If the list is empty, Camera does not support configuring (not Onvif-Compliant).
3. Click on Check Upgrade. The coordinates of Digital Watchdog FTP Server (Address, Port, Login and
Password) are predefined.
4. If a camera has Internet access, the application will check for any available upgrades automatically.
5. If a newer version of firmware is found, click OK to run upgrades. The application will automatically
reboot once upgrades are completed.
It is possible to upgrade Camera Firmware from its Web Page. See "Configuring Proprietary Camera
Parameters" for details.
