Applicable Models:
This fault may occur on IPC6100 series box network cameras.
Note:
For the methods of upgrading IPCs of other models using commands, see the corresponding User Guide.
Step 1 Create an SFTP server, and configure the user name, password, and file path.
Step 2 Place the upgrade file in the specified directory on the SFTP server or in a new folder in the specified directory.
Note:
For details about how to obtain the upgrade package, see section Obtaining IPC Upgrade Packages(As Follow).
Step 3 Use SSH to log in to the IPC as the admin user.
Step 4 Run the su - root command to switch to the root user.
Note:
For details about the default passwords of the admin and root users, see the <<User Guide >> corresponding to the faulty device.
Step 5 Run the cd /usr/app/bin/ command to go to the bin directory.
Step 6 Run the ./update sftp [IPAddr] [FilePath] [Mode] command to start the upgrade.
Note:
IPAddr: IP address of the SFTP server.
FilePath: path where the upgrade file is stored on the SFTP server. Assume that the specified directory for storing the upgrade file on the SFTP server is D:\update, the path where the upgrade file is stored is D:\update\file, and the upgrade file name is updatefile. The value of this parameter is file/updatefile. If the upgrade file is directly stored in the specified directory on the SFTP server, you do not need to set this parameter.
Mode: When this parameter is set to -f, the upgrade is performed forcibly. The parameter can be left blank.
For example, if you run the ./update sftp 192.168.40.254 IPC6112_V100R001C10.bin command, the following information is displayed.
