How to upgrade the firmware on your Gamut recorderUpdated 3 months ago
Purpose of the guide
This guide will show you how to upgrade the firmware in your recorder. This guide only applies to Gamut recorders released in 2019 or after, primarily the WLNVR, 4/8NVRGT1 or 4/8DVRGT1 recorders. If you are unsure which model you have, check your original order invoice.
Firmware updates can damage a recorder if the system is turned off during the update process. Only perform this update at a time when you know the recorder will not be turned off. If you are updating using a memory stick, do not remove the memory stick during the upgrade process.
Before you begin
You will need to download the latest firmware file from our website:
Now open up the firmware file linked above and open the 'hdvrupgrade' folder.
If you want to upgrade the firmware using the recorder and a TV, insert a memory stick into the computer. Now take the file named "H2106_V191216V181220V191226V200318V200318V200318V191118.sw" and copy it onto your memory stick.
If you want to upgrade the firmware using a Windows or Mac computer, simply copy the file named "H2106_V191216V181220V191226V200318V200318V200318V191118.sw" and save it somewhere on your computer that you can find. Also, make sure you have the Surveillance Client program set up on your Windows or Mac computer as this will be needed to perform the update:
