Update your NVR firmware

Upgrade the NVR from a USB drive, from the internet, or from the web page.

Applies to: Silarius NVRs running the NVR 5.0 interface

  1. Copy the file to a USB drive

    Put the upgrade file (named like xx_BD_V5_update_Vx.x.x.x.bin) on a USB drive and plug it into the NVR.

  2. Open Manual Upgrade

    Right-click on the live view, open Maintenance and go to Upgrade → Manual Upgrade.

  3. Start the upgrade

    Click Refresh, choose the upgrade file, then click Upgrade → Confirm.

  4. Wait for the restart

    Do not turn off the power or unplug the USB drive. The NVR restarts by itself when done (about 1-6 minutes).

  5. Restore defaults afterwards

    The manual recommends restoring factory settings after an upgrade (Maintenance → Default).

  6. Or upgrade online

    With the NVR on the internet, go to Maintenance → Online Upgrade, click Check, then Update if a new version is found. Or tick Auto Update, set a time and click Apply.

  7. Or upgrade from a browser

    Log in to the NVR web page, go to Configuration → Maintain → Manual Upgrade, click Browse, pick the file and click Upgrade.
