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.
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.

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