AXIS 262 - Troubleshooting
Upgrading the firmware
Firmware is software that determines the functionality of the AXIS 262. One of your first
actions when troubleshooting a problem should be to check the currently installed version.
The latest version may contain a correction that fixes your particular problem. The current
firmware version in your AXIS 262 is shown in the server report, see
> Logs &
Reports.
When you download firmware from the Axis Web site, the AXIS 262 will receive the latest
available functionality. Always read the upgrade instructions and release notes available
with each new release, before updating the firmware. New firmware can be downloaded to
the AXIS 262 over the network.
Note:
All recorded data and configuration except network settings are erased when upgrading the firmware.
