GeoVision GV-UBL1211 IP Camera Firmware 3.00 Description

Important Notice for Upgrading GV-IPCAM H.264:

Symptom 1
When upgrading GV-IP Camera directly from firmware V1.06 or earlier to firmware V1.09 or later, the upgrade cannot be completed successfully.

Solution 1

1. Upgrade the camera to firmware V1.08 using the latest GV-IP Device Utility.
2. Upgrade the camera again to the latest firmware version.

Important: Firmware V2.01 is only applicable to GV-IP Camera (except GV-FE420 / 421 / 520 / 521 and GV-FER521) and firmware V2.02 is only applicable to GV-FE420 / 421 / 520 / 521 and GV-FER521. Upgrading your camera with incompatible firmware can limit the access to live view and Web interface (see Symptoms 2 and 3).

Symptom 2

If you have upgraded your GV-IP Camera (except GV-Fisheye Camera) to firmware V2.02, you may not be able to connect to live view and/or receive an error message when trying to log in the Web interface:

Solution 2

The error occurs because firmware V2.02 is only applicable to GV-FE420 / 421 / 520 / 521 and GV-FER521. To solve this problem, downgrade the camera to firmware V2.01 using GV-IP Device Utility V8.5.6 or later.

Symptom 3

If you have upgraded your GV-Fisheye Camera to firmware V2.01, you may not be able to connect to live view and/or upgrade the camera.

Solution 3

These problems occur because firmware V2.01 is not applicable to GV-FE420 / 421 / 520 / 521 and GV-FER521. To solve this problem, follow the steps below to upgrade the camera to firmware V2.02.
1. Load the camera with this temporary firmware using GV-IP Device Utility
2. Proceed to upgrade the camera to firmware V2.02 using GV-IP Device Utility.

Symptom 4

Firmware upgrade fails when you upgrade your GV-Fisheye Camera from firmware earlier than V2.02 to firmware V2.03 or later.
Note: When firmware upgrade is unsuccessful, rebooting the camera will restore the camera back to normal operation.

Solution 4

To solve this problem, follow the steps below.
1. First upgrade the GV-Fisheye Camera to firmware V2.02 using GV-IP Device Utility.
2. Proceed to upgrade the GV-Fisheye Camera to the latest firmware version.

About Network Camera Firmware:

Updating to a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your network camera can improve the device’s overall performance and stability, resolve various issues, and add support for newly developed features or enhance existing ones.

On the other hand, downgrading the camera’s firmware can recover its functionality in the unlikely event the currently installed version is faulty, or the device’s performance dropped after an upgrade. However, bear in mind that applying an earlier build might not always be possible.

Changing the camera’s firmware must be performed when the new release resolves an issue that your device has encountered or adds a new feature (or enhances an existing one) that could prove useful to you.

As for the installation method, the steps vary depending on the model you own, but basically, you must connect your camera via an Ethernet cable (username and password required), and use the downloadable file in the Firmware Update section to upgrade your device. Make sure you do not interrupt the installation process.

However, make sure you carefully read and understand the installation steps so that you don’t end up with a broken device. This process isn’t intended to be destructive, but still, it’s best to save all configurations before applying a different firmware.

That being said, if you consider that this firmware improves your device in any way, then hit the download button and get the desired version; if not, check our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will boost your camera’s performance.          

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
