Chapter7 Firmware Upgrade
The DVR firmware is stored in FLASH ROM. You can use DVR upgrade
function to write the firmware file (digicap.dav) into FLASH.
There are two cases that you need to upgrade DVR firmware. One is update old
firmware. The other is when the code in DVR FLASH is crashed.
Note: Make sure that the DVR and the firmware are compatible before the
upgrade.

1. Use client software to upgrade the firmware file. You do not need to use ftp
server software. Please refer to the client software user manual for detail

more details.
