(24) Firmware update
You can update the firmware for the Camera (Camera operation programs) via a network
for the purpose of improving its functions.
Since an update changes the key functions of the Camera, it may fail to get started or
malfunction if the update is not carried out correctly.
Update the firmware according to the procedure described below with extreme care.
Note:
Updating the firmware may clear some settings stored in the
Camera. Export all of the settings for the Camera before updating the
firmware, and import them back into it after the update is completed.
Do not attempt to modify the firmware for firmware updating that was distributed by the
shop where you purchased the product or our branch or sales office nearby. Using another
firmware or modified firmware may cause the Camera to malfunction.
1. To save the current set data on the Camera in the host, select [Tool] – [Export
Setup Data] from the menu of Viewer.
2. Turn OFF the power to the Camera, and connect it and the host one-to-one with a
cross cable.
3. Set the network for the host according to the network address of the Camera.
4. Turn ON the power to the Camera, and select [Tool] – [Network Update] from the
menu of Viewer on the host.
5. The Net Update window opens. Set correct data at each of IP (the Camera’s IP
address), Port (the Camera’s optional port number), ID (the Camera’s root login
name), and Password (the Camera’s root login password).
