2. Key Steps after Downloading the Firmware
If the firmware you downloaded is 30.7.0.XX or 4X.7.0.XX, you can skip this part and directly go to 3.Upgrade Steps, otherwise please read below steps carefully.
Step1: If the current firmware version of your camera is above XX.5.0.85, like 10.5.0.89 or 20.5.0.90, you can go to 3.Upgrade Steps and upgrade your camera directly;
Step2: If the current firmware version of your camera is below XX.5.0.85, like 10.5.0.73 or 20.5.0.80, you should change the name of the firmware you downloaded according to the table below;
Take MS-C2651-PM for example:
Step1: According to the table above, it matches with MS-C2XXX, so we should download MSFImage_10.5.0.110_896a6b5b first.
Step2:
1) Suppose that the firmware version of this camera is XX.5.0.87 before upgrading, we can directly upgrade it according to 3.Upgrade Steps;
2) Suppose that the firmware version of this camera is XX.5.0.79, we should change the name of the firmware we downloaded. According to Table2, MS-C2651-PM belongs to model MS-C26XX and matches with 11.X.X.XX. So we need to change
MSFImage_10.5.0.110-r11_2e653e10 into MSFImage_11.5.0.110-r11_2e653e10
3. Upgrade Steps
