Update Firmware - IP Camera - DS-2CD2142FWD-I

[grubee]

Hi guys,

Im not sure if there has been much said about this, but is there a need to do updates in a certain sequence to bring the camera update? Or can I just pick the latest update and do that one?

I have four Cameras with firmware below:

Cam 1
DS-2CD2142FWD-I
V5.3.6 build 151105

Cam 2
DS-2CD2142FWD-I
V5.3.6 build 151105

Cam 3
DS-2CD2142FWD-I
V5.3.6 build 151105

Cam 4
DS-2CD2142FWD-I
V5.4.1 build 160525

Camera Firmware from here I believe which hopefully copied and pasted looks like this:

V5.4.1_Build160525(1.3MP, 2MP, 4MP, 5MP)	-	2018-12-19
V5.4.3_Build160902(1.3MP, 2MP, 4MP, 5MP)	-	2018-12-19
V5.4.41_Build170309(1.3MP, 2MP, 4MP, 5MP,1X31,1X41)	-	2018-12-19
V5.4.4_Build161125(1.3MP, 2MP, 4MP, 5MP)	-	2018-12-19
V5.4.5_Build170124(1.3MP, 2MP, 4MP, 5MP,1X31,1X41)	-	2018-12-19
V5.5.0_Build170725(1.3MP, 2MP, 4MP, 5MP,1X31,1X41)	-	2018-12-19
V5.5.53_Build180730(1.3MP, 2MP, 4MP, 5MP,1X31,1X41,67X5)	-	2018-12-19
V5.5.5_Build180111(1.3MP, 2MP, 4MP, 5MP,1X31,1X41,67X5)	-	2018-12-19

Cheers,

Greg.

Try jumping to the very latest.
If you encounter problems - try with the previous major version.
i.e. if 5.5.5 does not work, try 5.4.5, etc.

Thanks Phil! I will give it a try tonight.

On a side note, VCA says no device available, will this be because of the older Firmware on the cameras? The NVR is uptodate.

Cheers,

Greg.
