all

settings to the factory default values. Afterwards you must reset the IP address to make the device

accessible.

Note

All Axis device firmware is digitally signed to ensure that you only install verified firmware on your device. This further
increases the overall minimum cybersecurity level of Axis devices. For more information, see the white paper “Signed
firmware, secure boot, and security of private keys” at

axis.com

.

Firmware upgrade

: Upgrade to a new firmware version. New firmware releases can contain improved functionality, bug

fixes, and completely new features. We recommend you to always use the latest release. To download the latest release, go
to

axis.com/support

When you upgrade, you can choose between three options:

Standard upgrade

: Upgrade to the new firmware version.

Factory default

: Upgrade and return all settings to the factory default values. When you choose this option, you can’t

revert to the previous firmware version after the upgrade.

Autorollback

: Upgrade and confirm the upgrade within the set time. If you don’t confirm, the device reverts to the

previous firmware version.
