Updating the firmware
Your new FortiRecorder appliance comes with the latest operating system (firmware) when shipped. However, if a new version has been released since your appliance was shipped, you should install it before you continue the installation. (Camera firmware can be updated later, after you have connected your cameras to the appliance. See
“Upgrading/downgrading the camera firmware”.)
Fortinet periodically releases FortiRecorder firmware updates to include enhancements and address issues. After you register your FortiRecorder appliance, FortiRecorder firmware is available for download at:
New firmware can introduce new features which you must configure for the first time.
For late-breaking information specific to the firmware release version, see the Release Notes available with that release.
| In addition to major releases that contain new features, Fortinet releases patch releases that resolve specific issues without containing new features and/or changes to existing features. It is recommended to download and install patch releases as soon as they are available. Before you can download firmware updates for your FortiRecorder appliance, you must first register your FortiRecorder appliance with Fortinet Technical Support. For details, go to https://support.fortinet.com/ or contact Fortinet Technical Support. |
