Upgrading Firmware

Firmware upgrades can provide improved functionality to your system. You can download these free upgrades from www.lorextechnology.com.

Prior to upgrading your system’s firmware, you must first format the USB flash drive so it will function properly with the system.

ATTENTION: Formatting erases all data on the USB flash drive. This step cannot be undone.

To upgrade firmware:

1.Connect a USB flash drive to the USB port on the front panel of the DVR and format (see “Formatting the USB Drive” on page 38.) Once formatting is complete, remove the USB flash drive and connect it to a USB port on your computer.

NOTE: The system creates two folders on your

USB drive: Picture and Movie.

2.In your web browser, visit your DVR manufacturer’s website and download the free firmware upgrade.

3.Copy the firmware file to the connected USB flash drive—do not place the file in either the Picture or Movie folder. Once the file transfer is complete, remove the USB flash drive from your computer.

4.Disconnect the power cable to power off your DVR and connect the USB flash drive. Reconnect the power cable.

5.The system will detect the USB drive and new firmware and begin the upgrade process. The system will prompt you when the upgrade is complete.

6.Remove the USB flash drive from your DVR and power off your system.7.Power on the system. The system is now upgraded with the new firmware.
