NetCam Firmware

NetCam    

Determine which firmware your camera requires by following the instructions below. It's very important to note if your current version number contains 5206e or 5407. This determines what firmware you should download. If the correct firmware file is not used, your camera may be rendered inoperable.

Finding the NetCam version number


Finding the NetCam version number

Download netcam-5407-1.1.52.bin
if your NetCam version number contains "5407" and is 1.1.51 or under.

Download netcam-5407-1.1.61.bin
if your NetCam version number contains "5407" and is 1.1.52 or higher.

 
Firmware Upgrade Instructions:
  1. Browse to a configuration page on your NetCam and note the version number on the bottom right. Look at the images to the left to determine which firmware file to download. Once you determine this, download the appropriate firmware file onto your desktop.


  2. To upgrade the firmware, you must use the latest copy of the StarDot Tools software (above) and the NetCam must be on a local network (Ethernet). Run StarDot Tools, right-click on the NetCam in the list, select "Upgrade Firmware" and follow the on-screen instructions. DO NOT power the camera off during the upgrade process as this may leave NetCam inoperable.


  3. After upgrading the firmware, you will have to re-enter all of the existing settings (IP address, FTP information, etc). If your camera is not on a DHCP network (i.e. behind a router), you may need to use the null serial cable that shipped with NetCam to reassign the IP address.

Finding the NetCam version number

Download netcam-5206e-1.1.52.bin if your NetCam version number contains "5206e" and is between 1.0.0 and 1.1.51.

Download netcam-5206e-1.1.57.bin

Capture Client Java Applet

To broadcast your live image stream on a web server (and prevent viewers from accessing your camera directly), configure NetCam to FTP images to the web site of your choice. This takes the bandwidth load off the camera and puts it on your web server.

So viewers don't simply see the current live still image, you can use the free StarDot Capture Client Java Applet on your web page. This will auto-update the current live image every X seconds. The first link below contains the CaptureClient.class file (which you upload to your server), detailed instructions as well as sample html code.
