Appendix G: Upgrading Firmware
Firmware upgrades can provide improved functionality to your DVR. When firmware
upgrades become available, you can download them for free from
www.lorextechnology.com
Prior to upgrading your system’s firmware, you must first format your USB flash drive (not
included) so
it will function properly with the DVR.
ATTENTION: Formatting erases
all data
on the USB flash drive. This step
cannot
be undone.
To upgrade firmware:
1 Connect a USB flash drive (not included) to one of the USB ports on
the DVR and format it
(see “Formatting the USB Drive” on page 43). 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 w
ww.lorextechnology.com and search for your DVR series.
Download the free firmware upgrade from the Downloads tab if one is available.
3 Extr

ectory of the 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.
