From the home page of the camera web interface, select ‘Maintenance’ from the selector panel on the left hand side,
then select ‘Firmware Update’.
Select the ‘Browse’ button, and navigate to the firmware upgrade file (e.g. “rvip_fs_B03f_2014_10_22.bin”). Select the
‘Upload’ option and follow on-screen instructions.
The camera will prompt the user to reboot at the completion of the upgrade process. Once the camera reboot process
has started, it will usually take around 45 seconds before the camera becomes contactable again via the web interface
or ONVIF. However, in some circumstances the camera will perform repeated reboots internally and there may be a
longer delay. Allow five minutes for the camera to complete the process before assuming there is a problem.
If contact with the camera cannot be obtained after this period, then there are several procedures which can be tried
before contacting Redvision technical support :-
•
Use the RVDiscovery tool to check if the camera has been changed (such as by the DHCP server at boot).
•
Try to contact the camera via the LinkLocal IP Addressing.
•
Power cycle the camera

WEB BROWSER CONFIGURATION
Any modern, standards compliant web browser is suitable for carrying out basic configuration of the RVIP Camera. It may
be necessary to install additional software tools to gain full functionality. The preferred web browser software is Mozilla
Firefox, version 32.0.1 or later.
7.1 JAVASCRIPT
Javascript must be enabled to obtain full functionality. In Firefox, the support for Javascript is enabled by default.
If the camera web pages report 'Please enable Javascript' then support has been intentionally disabled in some way.
Check that any browser plug-ins such as advert or script blockers are disabled or the camers address is added to
their whitelist.
Caution: The following procedure, if carried out incorrectly, may prevent Firefox from working correctly. Follow the
instructions carefully.
In the address bar of Firefox, enter:
about:config
Read and inwardly digest the dire warnings, then click “I'll be careful, I promise!”.
In the Search bar at the top of the page, enter:
javascript.enabled
In the short list that results, for the item 'javascript.enabled', ensure the 'value' field is set to 'true'. If it is set to 'false',
then double click on the field to toggle its value.
Close the page and return to the web interface. If the web interface is still requesting javascript support, then the wbe
page is most likely being blocked an 'add-on' security tool such as NoScript. From the 'Tools' menu item, select 'Add-
ons', then check the list of additions under 'Extensions' and 'Plugins' for any tools which block javascript actions, and
adjust the settings as required.
7.2
VIDEO STREAMING PLUGIN
In order to view the live video streams embedded in the web browser, Redvision CCTV uses 'VLC media player', a free,
open source media player which is available for most common systems at http://videolan.org
Download and install the media player application for your system type.
For best performance, follow these instructions :-
Run the VLC media player application.
Select Tools > Preferences from the menu bar.
In the 'Advanced Preferences' popup, under 'Show settings', select 'All'
Select 'Input / Codecs', scroll down the list to 'Advanced'.
Set the following values :-
Network Caching = 300
Click 'Save' then close the application.
HINT:
this value reduces the video latency – the time delay between live action and displayed video. It can be reduced further, but
video 'breakup' becomes more likely, or increased to improve displayed video quality. 250 mSec is a sensible minimum value, and
there is little or no benefit increasing the value past 1000 mSec.
