the SD card if it does not exist.
2. Copy the file of UPDATE.BIN to the UPGRADE -directory.
3. If the IP Camera is running, please power it off first.
4. Insert the SD CARD into the IP Camera.
5. Remove the Ethernet cable from the RJ-45 port and then power on the IP Camera.
6. In 5 to 10 seconds, a message reading "UPDATE PROCESSING" will show up on the screen
on a blue background; if not, please check out steps 1 to 6 carefully or else inform your
technical support while ignoring the following steps.
7. DO NOT power off the IP Camera while this update process is running until the message
"UPDATE OK RESET PLEASE" appears on the screen; it might take 15 to 30 seconds to
appear.
8. If the message "UPDATE NG RESET PLEASE" appears rather than "UPDATE OK RESET
PLEASE", please write down the error messages shown on the screen and inform your
technical support, while ignoring the following steps.
9. Power off the IP Camera when this update process is finished, then remove the SD card from
the IP Camera.
10. Reconnect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port if necessary.
11. Power ON the IP Camera and it will work normally if the entire update procedure goes
correctly.
12. Verify the version of the system software.
WARNING:
 You must perform Steps 1 to 2 on a PC.
 Ensure you are using the correct UPDATE.BIN file in Step 2, otherwise the IP Camera
will not work properly.
 If the power of the IP Camera is suddenly lost in step 7, please remove the SD card first
and turn on the IP Camera next to test its operation. If the IP Camera remains working
normally, please go back to step 3; otherwise, please inform your technical support.
 In step 9, if the SD card is not removed and the IP Camera does not get online as well,
the updating process must be repeated again after rebooting the IP Camera.
 Make sure that the SD card is inserted in a correct position in step 4, or the IP Camera
will suffer permanent physical damage.
 If the message "CSUM ERROR" appears in step 7, it implies a problem in the file of
UPDATE.BIN.
 Do not interrupt the process when the unit is updating, or it will crash.
