23.1 Upgrading System Firmware
GeoVision periodically releases updated firmware on the website. Simply
download the new firmware into the GV-IPCAM H.264 using the Web
interface or IP Device Utility included in the Software CD.
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 GV-IPCAM H.264.
4. Stop all the remote connections including Center V2, VSM, ViewLog
Server and 3GPP/RTSP.
5. Stop the connection to GV-System.
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).
