    2. If the device is offline, the request will queue and will upload the logs the next time the device comes online.
    3. When logs are ready, a Download button will appear.

Firmware Status Page

The next tab on the Camera Status page is the Firmware Status page. This page, similar in layout to the Camera Status page, displays the camera's firmware version and status. This page allows a fleet manager to keep their cameras up-to-date on the latest firmware and apply it effortlessly to their entire fleet.

  • Current Firmware - Displays the current firmware version on that camera.
  • Status - Displays the status of the firmware on the camera
    • Latest firmware - The camera has the latest version of firmware
    • Firmware out of date - The camera has out-dated firmware
    • Firmware update pending to dvxc4_vX.X.X - A firmware update has been pushed to the device and is waiting to be applied.

Camera Firmware Management

Each camera has a Camera Firmware Management window. To access this, select the wrench icon on the far right of each camera.

A window similar to this will appear:

1. Select a firmware version from the dropdown menu 2. Select for device reboot - If ON, the device will reboot when the firmware is received, otherwise it will apply the next time the device is powered on.
3. Select APPLY to send the firmware update to the device.

The status for the device will now change to Firmware update pending to dvxc4_vX.X.X and the APPLY button will now change into a red CANCEL button. The upgrade can be cancelled at anytime before the camera accepts the firmware. Once the camera accepts the firmware upgrade, you cannot cancel it.

Fleetwide Firmware Upgrade

Upgrading each camera in the fleet would be very tedious, luckily we have a way to upgrade the entire fleet at the same time. At the top of the page next to the Groups filter there is the Fleetwide Firmware Upgrade button. Selecting this button will display a window similar to this:

The steps are similar to the Camera Firmware Management window with the exception of an additional drop-down menu, Apply to devices with status. To apply firmware fleetwide, you must select what type of device status you want it to effect.

  • Firmware out of date - Applies the firmware update to devices who's status is Firmware out of date.
  • Latest firmware - Applies the firmware update to devices who's status is Latest firmware.
  • All Devices - Applies the firmware update to devices regardless of their status.

After selecting all of the necessary options, select APPLY and the firmware update will be sent to the relevant devices. In order to cancel a firmware update applied this way, you must go to the device's Camera Firmware Management window and cancel it there.
