6.55 Firmware Upgrade
From time to time a new firmware may be released for your model of Y‐cam.
To check for updates, consult the Y‐cam website at
We do recommend you update to the latest firmware for your camera whenever we release one to take advantage of
new features and bug fixes. However, this is a serious process and can damage your camera if not done correctly.
If your firmware is several versions out of date, upgrading straight to the latest one is perfectly fine, you do not need to
install each and every update.
Once you have downloaded the latest firmware, store it in a place that is easily to get to. The firmware is in a ZIP file,
which is a compressed file format. You will need to move or copy the file from this compressed folder (some versions of
Windows will allow you to do this, but if not, you will need a program like WinZIP or WinRAR to unzip the file to a
standard folder). This is very important as the firmware will not update properly if it’s left in the compressed state.
It is recommended you reboot your computer before attempting this operation and then close ALL programs that may
interfere with the process. Interruption to this process will result in your camera being un‐useable.
Click Continue if you want to install a new firmware.
Select Browse... and locate the file you have uncompressed from the ZIP file.
