LNC Cameras: Manually updating firmware

LNC Series cameras receive automatic firmware updates via the Internet. LNC Series cameras are equipped with WiFi capability, however an unstable WiFi connection can prevent firmware updates. You may need to manually update your firmware to ensure you have the most current functionality which may contain added features, or assist with smartphone and tablet compatibility.

To update the LNC camera firmware using a router:

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your LNC camera directly to your router.
2. Disconnect the camera from the included power adapter for 30 seconds, then reconnect. The camera should reconnect to the router using the Ethernet connection.
3. When the camera powers on, a firmware update prompt will display in your client software or app if an update is available.

If the camera does automatically prompt for firmware updates, a manual update can also be performed using the L-View Client software.
