Firmware Update

   

From time to time, CBC will release firmware updated for the PixelPro Series camera, which will   
contain feature additions and other improvements. Always read the upgrade instructions and   
release notes that accompany each new firmware release, before updating the firmware.   

 

NOTE:

   

Preconfigured and customized settings should be saved before the firmware is upgraded. 

Firmware Update Procedure

   

   
1.    Save the firmware file to your computer.   

2.    Go to Setup > System > Maintenance within the camera web browser setup. 

3.    In the Firmware Update section, browse to the desired firmware file on your computer. Click OK.   

NOTE:  

Do not disconnect power to the unit during the upgrade. The unit will restart automatically 

after the upgrade has completed. (1~5 minutes)   

4.    If you suspect the firmware upgrade for the camera has failed, always wait at least 5-10 minutes 
before restarting the upgrade process. 

5.    CBC reserves the right to charge for any camera repair which can be attributed to faulty upgrading 
by the user. Always read the upgrade instructions and firmware release notes before updating the 
firmware.  

 

System Reset (Factory Default Reset)   

 
There are two ways to reset the camera back to factory default. 

 

Using the web browser: 

1.    Go to SETUP > System > Maintenance.   

2.    Click Factory Default Button and wait 1 minute for camera to reboot. 

 

Using the Reset Button of the camera: 

1.    Press and hold the Reset button until the Status Indicator color changes to RED and starts   

    blinking (which may take up to 15 seconds).   

2.    Release the Reset button.   

3.    When the Status Indicator changes to Green (which may take up to 1 minute), the process is   

    complete and the camera has been reset.   

 

NOTE:  

The unit will now have the default IP address from a DHCP server.   

    Use the ‘PixelPro Discovery Tool’ to discover and connect to the camera.
