For camera firmware updates, download and install the FLIR Firmware Update Tool
(FFUT) utility from the FLIR support web site (http://support.flir.com). The FFUT
utility will automatically check for and download the latest firmware files. The
download must be done on a computer with Internet access; the files can then be
transferred to a computer on the camera network. Then FFUT can locate cameras
on the secure network and provide a controlled and convenient way to update the
cameras.

Configuration
page to view the Nexus Configuration File, perform Backup & Recovery of
local files (on the camera), and perform Upload & Download of configuration files to another
computer for backup, or to install a new configuration file to the camera.

useful if help is ever need help from a support engineer.

Backup
button to make a backup of the final settings. This will make a backup copy of the
configuration file and store it locally on the camera.

Download
button can be used to save a copy to a PC for safe
keeping. A pop-up window will ask for a file name and destination folder.
