Chapter 6 BIOS / Web File UPDATE Over LAN
CAUTION! Incorrect software updates may result in fatal system failure and permanent damage
to the DVR!
At times, N-Patrol Inc. will release updates for the DVR software to increase DVR efficiency,
functionality, and other aspects of the DVR’s operation. These updates are ONLY available through the N-
Patrol website, or directly from your dealer. When an update is available, and you choose to install it into
the DVR, please use great caution. Please do not accept any updates from anyone that is not an authorized
N-Patrol dealer. Should you have any questions, please contact the person who sold you the DVR.
When updating the system, caution must be taken to differentiate the two different possible system
updates:
BIOS Update – Updates the operating system, functions, security, and other aspects of the DVR’s core
systems. The BIOS is the “brain” of the DVR, and is used to store its Operating System, critical settings,
security information, and other operation-related data.
Web File – Updates the DVR’s Web Client, and compatibility of remote connection through TCP/IP.
Before starting the update, please make sure the DVR is connected to the network, and all network settings
are correct (refer to Chapter 2, Page 17 – “Network Operations” for more details). When all network
connections are established you can now update the DVR.
1. Run “Upgrade.exe” from the computer you connected to the DVR via LAN.
2. When the program loads, it will show its interface as follows:
3. Open the DOS Command Prompt window, and Ping the DVR.
If you are unsure as to how to do this, refer to Chapter 2, Page
17 – “Network Operations”. If Ping was successful and a reply
was received from the DVR, go back to the Update.exe
program, and proceed to the next step.
4. Click the “CONNECT” button; a dialogue box will appear
where you will need to enter the DVR’s IP. (This is the IP you
set up in the DVR locally, when setting up its network settings.)
5. Click “Ok” to connect; the program’s status window will now
say “Connect” (this means the computer and the DVR are in
Connect-Mode.)
