It’s highly recommended to upgrade to latest available stock firmware before transition.
Device ID’s
Use vendor-specific software (DeviceManager, IPCam_DMS) or web (Device Config->Info->Version) to find out “System version”
For example: V5.00.R02.000559A7.10010.040400.0020000

Flashing
Use vendor-specific software (DeviceManager, IPCam_DMS) or flash file via web
Usage
After reboot camera will get IP from DHCP server, check out project site and wiki for more info
Rollback
To rollback firmware to stock, you will have to connect UART console and do TFTP recovery
Our ExIPCam software can do that in semi-automatic mode.
Alternative TFTP recovery:
- Setup a TFTP server
- Make sure that the network to which the camera is connected has internet access.
- Download appropriate recovery.img file for you IPC board from Releases page/Original firmware (https://github.com/OpenIPC/coupler/releases/tag/original), place it to TFTP root folder and rename to update.img
ipctool printenv (review serverip and ipaddr)In the output of this command, we are looking for the value “serverip” (e.g. serverip=192.168.1.254), set the received IP address on the computer with TFTP and launch the TFTP server.
