4.4 Updating System Software
If the system software of the LAN CAMERA needs to be upgraded, please take the following steps to safely process it.
Important: Before carrying out the following procedures, please ensure the SD card is working and the file
of system firmware is intact.
1. Format an SD card using the FAT16 format if it is unformatted; there are no limitations to an SD card’s capacity.
2. Create a directory named LANCAM in the SD card if it does not exist.
3. Copy the file of UPDATE.BIN to the LANCAM-directory.
4. If the LANCAM is running, please power it off first.
5. Insert the SD CARD into the LANCAM.
6. Remove the Ethernet cable from the RJ-45 port and then power on the LANCAM.
7. In 5 to 10 seconds, a message reading „UPDATE PROCESSING” will show up on the screen on a blue back-
ground; if not, please check out steps 1 to 6 carefully or else inform your technical support while ignoring the
following steps.
8. DO NOT power off the LANCAM while this update process is running until the message „UPDATE OK RESET
PLEASE” appears on the screen; it might take 15 to 30 seconds to appear.
9. If the message „UPDATE NG RESET PLEASE” appears rather than „UPDATE OK RESET PLEASE”, please write
down the error messages shown on the screen and inform your technical support, while ignoring the following
steps.
10. Power off the LANCAM when this update process is finished, then remove the SD card from the LANCAM.
11. Reconnect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port if necessary.
12. Power ON the LANCAM and it will work normally if the entire update procedure goes correctly.
13. Verify the version of the system software.
WARNING:
1. Don’t use FAT32 or NTFS or other file formats in step 1.
2. Steps 1 to 3 have to be done on a PC.
3. Make sure the file of UPDATE.BIN is a correct one in step 3, or the LANCAM will not work normally after
being updated.
4. If the power of the LANCAM is suddenly lost in step 8, please remove the SD card first and turn on the
LANCAM next to test its operation. If the LANCAM remains working normally, please go back to step 4;
otherwise, please inform your technical support.
5. In step 10, if the SD card is not removed and the LANCAM does not get online as well, the updating
process must be repeated again after rebooting the LANCAM.
6. Make sure that the SD card is inserted in a correct position in step 5, or the LANCAM will suffer
permanent physical damage.
7. If the message „CSUM ERROR” appears in step 8, it implies a problem in the file of UPDATE.BIN.
8. Don’t interrupt the process while the unit is updating itself; proceed with an SD card not including any
system software of the unit, or else the unit will crash.
