Firmware Upgrade
:
A firmware is a small program which is built inside the unit . The firmware of the Bullet DVR can be
upgraded if necessary, sometimes to fix known bugs or issues, and sometimes to add new features to the
unit .
When you power up the device, the Bullet DVR searches on the CF memory card for the core image
files: osd.img and imge.10.img If they are found, the firmware upgrade will begin automatically . If
they are not present, the device will load up the last known configuration . Please follow the firmware
upgrade instructions very carefully, as failure to do so could cause hardware failure and render the unit
inoperable .
1. Format the CF memory card using the FAT file system .
. Copy the image files osd.img and imge.10.img to the root of the memory card . Contact
your dealer to obtain the latest files .
. Launch the Bullet DVR configuration utility and set all the parameters as required, then make
sure to save the device.ini file to the root of the card .
. Insert the CF memory card into the Bullet DVR unit .
. Turn on the power using the AC charger . Do not attempt to upgrade the firmware using the
internal battery supply .
. After the unit is turned on, and the image files are found, the firmware upgrade will begin
automatically . The LED status light will change colors, and audio beeps will be audible . This
procedure takes a few minutes to complete, during this time the LCD screen will display the
upgrade progress (V1.0. or newer) . Do NOT turn off the power during this time .
. After the upgrade is completed, the Bullet DVR will reboot automatically .
8. When you hear the audio signal and the LED light remains steady green for some time, the
upgrade process is complete .
You may now unplug the AC Charger and remove the memory card . Insert it in your PC computer, and
the file updmgr.txt should be created if successful . You can delete the 2 image files from the card .
Optional Items
:
LANC remote control:
Your Bullet DVR™ supports all known versions of the LANC protocol . You
can use any brand of LANC remote control to trigger Power On/Off and
Recording On/Off without having to press the buttons on the control
panel . A very convenient status light on the remote control lets you
know the status of the recorder by flashing and changing colors .
NOTE: Do not plug or unplug the LANC remote control whenever
power is applied to the unit . You must first power off, or unplug the
AC charger, before attempting any connections to the LANC socket,
or you risk damaging the unit .
Dual-Cam Switch:
You can run cameras simultaneously to the same Bullet DVR unit,
with the use of the waterproof Dual-Cam switch . This switch allows
you to toggle select between camera 1 and camera 2, at the simple
push of a switch .
Dual-Head Video Cable:
This cable is similar to the waterproof video cable included with your
package, except it provides one more waterproof connector, to allow
connecting an external microphone (optional) fitted with the same
waterproof connector found on your Bullet Camera .
