Upgrading the Firmware
General Troubleshooting
If you suspect a problem is being caused by incorrect configuration or some
other minor problem, consult the troubleshooting guide below.
Firmware is software that determines the functionality of the network camera.
One of your first actions when troubleshooting a problem should be to check
the current firmware. The latest version may contain a correction that fixes your
particular problem. The current firmware version in your camera is displayed
on the Basic Configuration or About. For the latest firmware of the camera, please
contact with your product administrator.
Detailed instructions on how to perform the upgrade process are provided with
each new release.
The following list covers some of the problems that may be encountered and
suggests how to remedy them:
The camera cannot be accessed
by some clients.
