Firmware Updates
As a general rule any Nano installation must include the firmware update procedure to ensure
having the latest build (see File Access Control Category).
Note:
•
A Nano-CL that had a fault with a firmware update will automatically recover by booting with
the previous firmware version.
Important: New Nano-CL cameras installed in previously deployed systems are fully backward
compatible with the older vision application.
