Windows - From a command/DOS prompt, type the following: arp -s <IP address of camera> <Serial number>

2.If the unit does not reply within a few seconds, restart it and wait for a reply. Press CTRL+C to stop Ping.

3.Open a browser and type in the camera’s IP address. In the page that appears, use the Browse button to select the upgrade file to use, e.g. axis212ptz.bin. Then click the Load button to restart the upgrade process.
