Tip
If a firmware upgrade is accidentally disrupted, say, by a power outage, you still have a last resort method
to restore normal operation. See the following for how to bring the camera back to work:
Applicable scenario:
(a) Power disconnected during firmware upgrade.
(b) Unknown reason causing abnormal LED status, and a Restore cannot recover normal working
condition.
You can use the following methods to activate the camera with its backup firmware:
(a) Press and hold down the reset button for at least one minute.
(b) Power on the camera until the Red LED blinks rapidly.
(c) After boot up, the firmware should return to the previous version before the camera hanged. (The
procedure should take 5 to 10 minutes, longer than the normal boot-up process.) When this process is
completed, the LED status should return to normal.
