Firmware
The camera functions and parameters can be updated by
uploading new firmware. To do this, the latest firmware
package is transferred to the device via the network. The
firmware is installed there automatically. Thus, a camera can be
serviced and updated remotely without requiring a technician
to make changes to the device on site. The latest firmware can
be obtained from your customer service center or from the
Bosch Security Systems download area.
To update the firmware:
1. First, store the firmware file on your hard disk.
2. Enter the full path for the firmware file in the field or click
Browse to locate and select the file.
3. Click Upload to begin transferring the file to the device.
The progress bar allows monitoring of the transfer.
The new firmware is unpacked and the Flash memory is
reprogrammed. The time remaining is shown by the message
going to reset Reconnecting in ... seconds. When the upload is
completed successfully, the device reboots automatically.

CAUTION!
Before starting a firmware update, make sure to select the
correct upload file. Uploading the wrong files can result in the
device no longer being addressable, requiring it to be replaced.
Do not interrupt the firmware installation. Even changing to
another page or closing the browser window leads to
interruption. Interruption may lead to faulty coding of the Flash
memory. This can result in the device no longer being
addressable, requiring it to be replaced.
