In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the simple process of upgrading your TP-Link VIGI NVR online using a monitor or TV screen connected to the NVR.
Step 1: Connect Your NVR to the Internet
Before you start, make sure your TP-Link VIGI NVR is connected to the internet. This connection is essential for checking and downloading the latest firmware updates.
Step 2: Access the NVR Menu
With your monitor or TV connected to the NVR, right-click on the screen to access the NVR menu. You’ll be prompted to log in with your admin account. Ensure you have the necessary permissions, as you’ll need these to configure the settings and perform the firmware upgrade.
Step 3: Navigate to the Firmware Upgrade Section
Once logged in, head to the ‘Settings’ menu. From there, go to the ‘System’ section, where you’ll find various options for managing your NVR. On the left-hand side of the screen, locate and click on the ‘Firmware Upgrade’ option.
Step 4: Check for the Latest Firmware
In the ‘Firmware Upgrade’ section, you’ll see a button labeled ‘Check for Update.’ Click this button to have the system connect to TP-Link’s servers and search for the latest firmware version. If a new update is available, details about the update, including the version number and any improvements or fixes, will be displayed on the screen.
Step 5: Download and Install the Update
Review the update information to understand what changes the new firmware will bring. If you’re ready to proceed, click the ‘Download’ button at the bottom of the screen to start the download process.
The download and installation process will take a few minutes. It’s crucial to maintain a stable power supply and internet connection throughout the update to prevent interruptions that could damage the NVR.
Step 6: Complete the Upgrade
Once the firmware has been downloaded, the NVR will automatically restart to apply the update. After the restart, log back into the system to confirm that the upgrade was successful. You can do this by checking the firmware version in the settings menu, ensuring it matches the latest version available.
