Flash MemoryThe software that runs your AXIS 700 is stored in Flash
memory. This is a memory chip that, like ordinary
ROM memory, keeps its contents even when the power
is turned off. What makes it unique is the possibility to
erase its contents and write new data to it. This means
that when software updates are available for your
AXIS
700 , you can make use of them without having to replace
any parts. The new software is simply loaded into the
AXIS 700 over the network.
