6.1 Upgrading System Firmware
GeoVision periodically releases updated firmware on the website. Simply
download the new firmware into the camera using the Web interface or IP
Device Utility included in the Software DVD.
Important Notes before You Start
Before you start updating the firmware, please read these important notes:
1.
To update the camera firmware from versions earlier than V2.07 to the
latest version, back up the recordings on the storage device to
another device first before the upgrade.
2.
If you use the IP Device Utility for firmware upgrade, the computer
used to upgrade firmware must be under the same network of the
camera.
3.
Stop monitoring of the camera.
4.
Stop all the remote connections including Center V2, Vital Sign
Monitor, ViewLog Server and 3GPP/RTSP.
5.
Stop the connection to GV-DVR / NVR / VMS.
6.
While the firmware is being updated,
A) the power supply must not be interrupted, and
B) do not unplug the Ethernet cable if the cable is the source of
power supply (Power over Ethernet or PoE supported).
