select the first option. If you select the second one instead, all the settings would be
removed during factory default. You will have to use factory default IP setting to connect
to this camera.
5-8-4 Firmware Upload
The section Firmware Upload allows remote upgrade or downgrade
of camera firmware. The upgrade to newer version is usually done in order to gain new
functions or fix existing bugs or limitations while downgrade to older version is used mostly

firmware version than supported by a third party video management system of a given
project.

image manually or use auto-upgrade function through

Download Center
”
so that the camera will connect to internet and find the latest firmware
image automatically.
