Appendix E - Updating the Firmware

The AXIS 2460 firmware is stored in Flash memory. This memory is provided by a silicon chip that, just like any other ROM device, retains data content even after power is removed. Flash memory is unique because it allows its data to be erased and rewritten. This means that you can install firmware updates for your AXIS 2460 as soon as they become available - without having to replace any parts. New firmware can be simply loaded into the AXIS 2460 over the network.

Checking the Firmware Version

To check which firmware version is currently installed, click the link to the Release Notes in the support section of the Administration tools.

Obtaining Updated Firmware

The latest version of the AXIS 2460 camera firmware is available free of charge from the Axis website at www.axis.com or from your local distributor.

Updating the Firmware

The AXIS 2460 Flash memory is updated over the network using FTP. See the detailed instructions supplied with each new release.

Important!

Always read the instructions available with each new release, prior to updating your software.

Downloading normally takes at least 30 seconds and up to 10 minutes, although it can take longer. After starting the download, you should always wait at least 20 minutes before power-cycling the AXIS 2460 - even if you suspect the download procedure has failed.

In controlled environments, flash memory updates provide a very safe method for updating firmware. However, flash products can become damaged if the update operation is not performed correctly. Your dealer reserves the right to charge for any repair attributable to faulty updating.
