A common theme around here is don't fix what ain't broke. If the camera is working and meets your needs, in many instances an update breaks what you had working and provides you with something you didn't need. A Z12E that someone updated and then constantly reboots comes to mind, and a certain PTZ that loses autotracking with an update come to mind - both of those are big deals to have happen. Don't do it unless it is fixing a problem you are experiencing or adds a feature you really need.

It is best to obtain any firmware updates from the vendor you purchased it from so that you do not run into issues.

Many units being sold are Chinese hacked cameras that will either brick or go into Chinese upon updating. Some vendors will be upfront and tell consumers that as part of their website, but many do not or the consumer forgets...here is one such example....

If you brick 180 cameras because they cannot be updated, I guess you better have deep pockets to replace 180 cameras!
