How to update camera firmwares
Camera has 2 firmwares: 1 hardware (HW) and 1 software (SW).
To ensure compatibility, both firmwares must be updated at the same time.
We also encourage you to get the last version of the control software
(TimeViewer or Android application) when updating the camera.
Hardware firmware is an rbf file and is named “CR1900_version.rbf”.
Software firmware has no extension and is named “cr_server_version”.
To update camera firmwares please use an USB2 Stick formatted to FAT32
and use the Optronis tool CR1900_FlashTool:
Step 1: Copy new files on USB sticks
Start CR1900_FlashTool
Select HW and SW files and USB stick path (see Figure 28)
Click on copy button (see Figure 29)
Step 2: Program new Hardware firmware
Plug USB stick into camera and power cycle
Start CR1900_FlashTool
Set camera IP and when the camera network is established click on connect
button (see Figure 30)
Click on “HW Firmware Update” button and wait (see Figure 31 and Figure
32). Update process takes ~8mn.
When Update is finished (see Figure 33), power cycle the camera. You can
see update success by connecting again to the camera (click on
“Disconnect” / “Connect” or restart software).
End. New version is now programmed (see Figure 34)
