2 | Analog Camera Firmware Updates via the CTFID | ||
| This chapter details the procedure to update the firmware files for an AutoDome 100, | ||
| AutoDome 600, a MIC Series 550 and a MIC Series 550 UIR analog camera using the | ||
| Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices (CTFID). The CTFID connects a computer to an analog | ||
| camera using a BNC to USB (Bilinx) connection or via a serial (RS232/RS485) connection. | ||
| Bilinx is a communication protocol that allows you to update the firmware for an analog | ||
| camera over the video cable (coaxial or passive UTP). For a Bilinx connection, the CTFID is | ||
| connected to an analog camera using a BNC to USB converter (Bosch part | ||
| serial connection, the analog camera is connected to a computer through the DB9 Com port. | ||
| The version of the CTFID software must be version 3.13 or higher to interface with an analog | ||
| camera. (Visit www.boschsecurity.com for the latest version of the CTFID software). For | ||
| further references and details, refer to the CTFID online help, to the CTFID User’s Manual and | ||
| to the AutoDome 600 Installation Manual. | ||
| The latest service pack is available on the Bosch Security Systems Web site. | ||
|
|
| |
i | NOTICE! Use this upgrade method with an AutoDome 100, an AutoDome 600, a MIC Series | ||
550, and a MIC Series 550 IR camera only. If you are updating the AuotDome 700 Series, refer | |||
to Section 1 IP AutoDome Firmware Updates via a TCP/IP Network, on page 1. | |||
|
|
| |
2.1 | Selecting the Service Pack | ||
| The analog service packs are cumulative. Before you begin a firmware update, check the | ||
| version of the System Controller Main (SC) firmware currently installed in the camera. The SC | ||
| Main firmware version determines the service pack with which you must start. To determine | ||
| the SC Main firmware version, issue the | ||
| CTFID. |
|
|
| The camera displays the current firmware levels for the camera files. The SC Main firmware | ||
| level is indicated as item 1 in the illustration below. | ||
