How to use Fleet Firmware Update

This page is a step-by-step overview of the Fleet Firmware Update page. The Fleet Firmware Update page is available to those users with permissions of Fleet Maintainer and above.

The Fleet Firmware Update page is where the firmware on the DV440 cameras installed on the fleet vehicles can be monitored, upgraded, or changed.

Please note that only “Fleet Manager” and “Fleet Maintainer” roles can update the firmware.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you contact RoscoLive customer support before applying any firmware updates. If the firmware update is done incorrectly, camera failure is highly likely.

Step 1: Navigate to the Firmware Update page

Locate the Fleet Administration option in the side-bar menu.

Select the Fleet Firmware Update option in the now revealed drop-down menu under Fleet Administration.

Step 2: Fleet Firmware Update page

This is the Fleet Firmware Update page. From here, the user is able to see the firmware versions on all DV cameras in the fleet assorted by Group. Firmware upgrades/downgrades may also be done from this page, however, it is recommended to contact RoscoLive customer support to do so.

Fleet Groups Firmware pages

The table displayed on this page is where the fleet groups are displayed. Next to each Group name is a (+) that when selected expands that Group category to reveal all of the vehicles in that Group.

The columns of this page are the following:

  1. Vehicle - This is the name of the vehicle.
  2. Current Firmware - This is the firmware version currently installed onto the DV440 in that vehicle.
  3. Firmware Selection - This drop-down menu displays the available firmware versions for download to the DV440.
  4. Reboot - This toggle when enabled causes the DV440 to automatically reboot after a firmware is uploaded to the device. If disabled, the camera must be manually rebooted to finish firmware installation.
  5. Upgrade - When this button is pressed, a request is sent to RoscoLive servers to push the selected firmware version to the DV440 of that particular vehicle for upload.
  6. Cancel Upgrade - If a request for a firmware update has been sent, this button will become available. BEFORE THE UPDATE HAS BEGUN, this button can be pressed to cancel any request for a firmware update sent to that vehicle.
  7. Status - displays the status of the firmware version currently installed on that vehicle.

Searching for Vehicles

The search bar at the top of this page can be used to search for vehicles with similar names or individual vehicles. As the user is entering the vehicle name in the search bar, the Groups list actively narrows down the vehicle names according to how specific the name entered is. In the example below, all the vehicles with '661' in their name can be seen generated. As the search gets more specific with the name '661455', the results narrow to only one vehicle with that name.

Fleetwide Firmware Update
