Note: After upgrading to this latest version, you cannot downgrade to previous versions.
The procedure for upgrading to the latest version is as follows

  1. Firstly determine which firmware version currently exists on your FI9831W by checking under Settings > Device Status. You are looking for the "App Firmware Version"
  2. If you have App Firmware Version 1.11.1.14 or above, proceed to download and install the latest version 2.11.1.6 here.
  3. If you have App Firmware Version 1.11.1.12 or lower, first upgrade to 1.11.1.14 here and then to the latest version 2.11.1.6 here.
  4. Please follow carefully the instructions contained in "Upgrade Guidance for FI9831W.pdf" included in each download. Failure to install the firmware correctly could result in bricking your camera. If you are unsure on how to proceed, please stop immediately and contact us.
  5. Note that for HD cameras there is an extra "transitional firmware" step when sometimes updating firmware. Again, please remember to read the PDF guide included in the firmware ZIP file carefully before updating your firmware.
