Firmware Upgrade Procedure
New firmware versions become available from time to time, adding new features and addressing
compatibility problems. If you experience technical difficulties with your product, you should check the Web
site www.networkipcamera.com to find out if a new firmware version is available. Download the firmware to
your computer's desktop and uncompress the ZIP file. Inside the ZIP file you can find a *.frm file. That is the
actual firmware file. There are two ways of installing the firmware; using the Web browser and using the
camera manager program. Regardless of which way you do it, you must always make sure that the
firmware upgrade process is not (!) being interrupted or the camera will be destroyed beyond repair.
Cameras which have been damaged during a firmware upgrade because of a lost network connection or
power loss during the upgrade are not covered by warranty.
Using the Web browser interface
Connect to the camera with your Web browser and open the Administrator menu. Click on Maintenance ->
Info. and Upgrade to open the firmware upgrade page.
Click on "Browse" and select the firmware file.
Click on "Upload" to start the upgrade procedure.
Wait for 30 seconds, then click on "OK" to reconnect to the camera.
