3.4 Updating System Software   

 

If the system software of the 4CH DVR needs to be upgraded, please take the following steps to safely 

update it. 

 

Important: Before carrying out the following procedures, please ensure the SD card is working 

and the file of system software is intact.   

 

1. Turn off the 

IV-400CD-SN

2. Insert the SD card into the built-in SD slot of the unit. 

3. Hold down the 

 

Up

 and 

 

 Down

 buttons simultaneously, and then turn the unit on.   

4. Keep holding the buttons down until the 

IV-400CD-SN

 sounds a tone and displays the message 

“ 

XXXXXX  BYTES READ

”. Now the 

IV-400CD-SN

 is updating the system software, which will take 

approximately 90 seconds to process. 

5. Restart the unit by turning the 

 POWER 

button off, upon which the device sounds a tone twice and 

displays the message “ 

PLEASE RESTART

”. Then turn on the 

 POWER 

button again. The process 

is complete.   

(If you have already followed procedures 1~5, and the unit is still unable to switch on, please first 

check if the SD card you are using is functioning and the file is intact. And then repeat procedures 1 

~ 5 again.) 

6. Verify the version of the system software. (Please refer to section 5.6 VERSION.)
