Emergency Recovery Procedure

If power or the network connection to the camera is lost during the upgrade, the process
will fail and the unit will become unresponsive. A flashing red Status LED indicates a failed
upgrade. To recover the unit, follow the steps below. The serial number is found on the
label attached to the bottom of the camera.
1. This procedure is only possible to perform via the wired connection - connect the
camera to the network via a standard network cable.
2. Unix/Linux - From the command line, type the following:
arp -s <IP address of camera> <Serial number> temp
ping -s 408 <IP address of camera>
Windows - From a command/DOS prompt, type the following:
arp -s <IP address of camera> <Serial number>
ping -l 408 -t <IP address of camera>
3. If the unit does not reply within a few seconds, restart it and wait for a reply. Press
CTRL+C to stop Ping.
4. Open a browser and type in the camera's IP address. In the page that appears, use the
Browse button to select the upgrade file to use, e.g. axis207mw.bin. Then click the
Load button to restart the upgrade process.
5. After the upgrade has completed (1-10 minutes), the unit will automatically restart and
show a steady green on the Power and Status LEDs and flashing green or amber on the
Network LED.
6. Referring to the installation guide, reinstall the camera.
If the emergency recovery procedure does not get the camera up and running again, please
