🎥 How to Update Your Classic IP Camera Firmware

⚠️ Important Instructions: Your Montavue camera will only accept firmware in the raw .bin file format. If the firmware you downloaded is a .zip file, you must extract it first before uploading it to your system (learn how to unzip files here). Please also read any READ_ME files that may be included in the folder.

📝 Note on the Video Tutorial: This is an older tutorial. You can safely disregard the section explaining where to acquire the firmware, as you are already in the correct download directory!

🚨 Firmware Update Best Practices & Disclaimer

Updating firmware is generally a safe process when performed correctly, but precautions must be taken to protect your equipment. Most of the time the NVR or Camera will reject incorrect firmware but it is still advised to be cautious.

Stable Power Source: Ensure your device is connected to a reliable power outlet or uninterrupted power supply (UPS recommended) during the entire process.
DO NOT Interrupt Power: Never disconnect power, turn off, or unplug a device while a firmware update is actively in progress.
Network Connection: A wired Ethernet connection is ideal for network updates, but a strong, stable Wi-Fi connection is fine as well—just ensure there are no dropouts during the transfer.
Verify Exact Model Compatibility: Verify your devices model number first before applying the update, make sure you select your correct NVR when downloading the firmware.
Extract Archived Files: If the downloaded firmware is inside a .zip file, extract the raw .bin file before uploading it to your system (guide on unzipping files).

Disclaimer: Montavue is not responsible or liable for any damage, device failure, or unrecoverable state ("bricking") resulting from improper firmware installation, power loss during update, or applying incorrect file versions. Proceed with care or contact technical support if you need assistance.
