It is best practice after a firmware update to clear the settings of the recorder (factory reset) to remove any old settings that may conflict with the new firmware. This can mean that the recorder will no longer be able to access the currently stored recordings and the storage will need to be re-initialised before recording can continue. The new firmware updates the internal layout of storage on the recorder. īefore you attempt to update the firmware, please export/download any footage that you require from the recorder.
