Gen 1 Firmware Update Information

UPDATED: 9/14/2021

Thank you for inquiring about the recent firmware update for Gen 1 REVEAL cameras. We understand this can cause inconveniences for you and we do our best to keep firmware updates to a minimum, so we only release them when absolutely necessary. 

As of 8/12/2021, the B506 firmware version is available to all Gen 1 REVEAL cameras. This firmware supports HD download on Gen 1 REVEAL and will ensure your cameras continue to work flawlessly on our network as they are intended to. After 9/12/2021 we cannot guarantee how long cameras running on old firmware versions will continue to send photos. 

If your camera is out of warranty and you have not installed the firmware update, you will be responsible for the shipping and reflash fees to resume camera use when it stops sending photos. We strongly suggest you update your camera firmware as soon as possible to avoid losing valuable time with your camera. All Gen 1 REVEAL cameras are required to be updated with either AB04 or B506 firmware versions; if they continue to run old firmware, they will eventually stop sending pictures and require to reflash. 

If you are currently running the AB04 software version which has been available since October 2020 this is still considered current and does not require updating, however, you will not have the option for HD download.
