DW Spectrum allows for firmware updates from within the application, for Digital Watchdog cameras only.

IMPORTANT: To enable this feature, the camera must have internet access.

To update a camera's firmware:

1.Open Camera Settings > Advanced.

2.Go to Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade.

Note: If the list is empty, the camera is not ONVIF compliant, so does not support configuring.

3.Click on Check Upgrade. The coordinates of the Digital Watchdog FTP Server (Address, Port, Login and Password) are predefined.

4.If the camera has Internet access, the application will check for any available updates automatically.

5.If a newer version of firmware is found, click OK to run the updates. The application will automatically reboot once updates are completed.

It is also possible to upgrade camera firmware from its web page. See "Configuring Device Using Web Page" for details.
