Updating the firmware
Your new FortiRecorder appliance comes with the latest operating system (firmware) when
shipped. However, if a new version has been released since your appliance was shipped, you
should install it before you continue the installation. (Camera firmware can be updated later,
after you have connected your cameras to the appliance. See
.)
Fortinet periodically releases FortiRecorder firmware updates to include enhancements and
address issues. After you register your FortiRecorder appliance, FortiRecorder firmware is
available for download at:
New firmware can introduce new features which you must configure for the first time.
For late-breaking information specific to the firmware release version, see the Release Notes
available with that release.

Installing NVR firmware
You can use either the web UI or the CLI to upgrade or downgrade the appliance’s operating
system.
Firmware changes are either:
• an update to a newer version
• a reversion to an earlier version
To determine if you are updating or reverting the firmware, go to
Monitor > System Status >
Status
and in the
System Information
widget, see the
Firmware Version
row. (Alternatively, in the
CLI, enter the command
get system status
.)
For example, if your current firmware version is:
FortiRecorder-200D v1.0,build0065,120821
changing to
FortiRecorder-200D v1.0,build0066,120824
In addition to major releases that contain new features, Fortinet releases patch releases that
resolve specific issues without containing new features and/or changes to existing features. It is
recommended to download and install patch releases as soon as they are available.
Before you can download firmware updates for your FortiRecorder appliance, you must first
register your FortiRecorder appliance with Fortinet Technical Support. For details, go to
or contact Fortinet Technical Support.
