Flash MemoryThe software that runs your AXIS 700 is stored in Flash memory. This is a memory chip that, like ordinary ROM memory, keeps its contents even when the power is turned off. What makes it unique is the possibility to erase its contents and write new data to it. This means that when software updates are available for your AXIS 700, you can make use of them without having to replace any parts. The new software is simply loaded into the AXIS 700 over the network.
