7.7.6 Firmware Upgrade
From time to time a new firmware may be released for your model of camera. To check for updates,
consult with our technical support before firmware upgrade.
Once you have downloaded the latest firmware, store it in a place that is easily to get to. The firmware is in
a ZIP file, which is a compressed file format. You will need to move or copy the file from this compressed
folder (some versions of Windows will allow you to do this, but if not, you will need a program like WinZip
or WinRAR to unzip the file to a standard folder). This is very important as the firmware will not update
properly if it’s left in the compressed state.
TIPS
We do recommend you update to the latest firmware for your camera
whenever we release one to take advantage of new features and bug fixes.
However, this is a serious process and can damage your camera if not done
correctly.
If your firmware is several versions out of date, upgrading straight to the
latest one is perfectly fine, you do not need to install each and every update.
1. Click “Tool”, then click “Firmware”, then Click “Continue”, then you will get to this screen below.
2.
Click “Browse” and locate the file you have uncompressed from the ZIP file
.
Click upgrade, the firmware
uploading to camera will start. The firmware uploading process takes around 5-10 minutes, and it varies as
per your network speed (Wi-Fi or LAN/WAN network speed). In Chrome browser, the firmware uploading
speed is displayed.
