5.1 Upgrading System Firmware
GeoVision periodically releases the updated firmware on the website. The new firmware can
be simply loaded into GV-CS1320 using the Web interface or the IP Device Utility included
on the Software DVD.
Important Notes before You Start
Before you start updating the firmware, please read these important notes:
1. If you use the IP Device Utility for firmware upgrade, the computer used to upgrade
firmware must be under the same network of GV-CS1320.
2. Stop the connection to GV-DVR/NVR/VMS.
3. Stop all the remote connections, including RTSP.
4. While the firmware is being updated, the power supply and network connection must not
be interrupted.
WARNING: The interruption of power supply during updating causes not only update
failures but also damages to your camera access controller. In this case, please contact
your sales representative and send your device back to GeoVision for repair.
5. Do not turn the power off for 10 minutes after the firmware is updated.
6. If firmware upgrade fails, you will need to restore the GV-CS1320 to the default settings.
For details, see 5.3 Restoring to Factory Default Settings in the User’s Manual.
