15.5.1 System Menu - IP Camera Maintenance - Upgrade

In the Upgrade sub-menu you can upgrade the firmware on IP camera's from the
recorder. This could be to add new features to the camera or resolve firmware
issues.

You should only need to do this if instructed to by a member of out technical support
team. If this is the case you will be supplied with a download link or website address
from where you can download the new firmware file.

IP Camera Details

The key information for each camera is shown followed:

Camera

 - Shows the IP channel number the camera is assigned to.

IP Address

 - Shows the IP address of the IP camera.

State

 - Indicates the camera's current state, On-line, Off-line etc

Software Version

 - Displays the camera's current software version.

How To Upgrade Camera Firmware

You can upgrade a single camera or multiple camera's firmware at the same time,
just follow these simple steps:

1. Download the firmware file to your computer.
2. Copy the firmware file onto a USB memory stick.
3. Plug the USB memory stick into your recorder.
4. Select the cameras you want to upgrade using the check boxes and click the

Select File

 button.

5. Navigate to the firmware file, select it and click 

OK

.

6. Click the 

Upgrade

 button and enter the recorder's admin user password for

authorisation.

The State field will change to "......" while in progress and then "Success" when
complete. The camera may then drop Off-line for a few seconds just while the
recorder is adjusting to the new camera settings.
