The latest BVIP firmware is available on the Bosch Security Systems Web site. To download the service pack from the Web, navigate to www.boschsecurity.us, click the CCTV link, then click Cameras, PTZ and navigate to the product page for the AutoDome Easy II IP. Then click the Software tab on the product page.

18.1Upgrading the AutoDome Easy II IP

The preferred method to update an AutoDome Easy II IP is through a direct connection between the camera and a PC. This method entails connecting the Ethernet cable from the camera directly to the Ethernet port of a PC.

If the direct-connect method is not practical you can also update the AutoDome Easy II IP through a Local Area Network (LAN). You cannot, however, update the AutoDome Easy II IP through a Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet.
