Firmware
Upgrade
From
time
to
time
a
new
firmware
may
be
released
for
your
model
of
Y
‐
cam.
To
check
for
updates,
consult
the
Y
‐
cam
website
at
http://www.y
‐
cam.com
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out
of
date,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.
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.
It
is
recommended
you
reboot
your
computer
before
attempting
this
operation
and
then
close
ALL
programs
that
may
interfere
with
the
process.
Interruption
to
this
process
will
result
in
your
camera
being
un
‐
useable.
Click
Continue
if
you
want
to
install
a
new
firmware.
Select
Browse...
and
locate
the
file
you
have
uncompressed
from
the
ZIP
file.
