How to upgrade firmware on a Speco Blue recorder
This guide will go over the steps required to upgrade your Speco Blue recorder unit's firmware.
- Download the firmware file from our website https://www.specotech.com/
- At the top of the page, within the Support tab, select Recorder Software Updates.
-
- On the page, select the recorder that needs upgrading and download the file from the page. The download button is a downward arrow.
- Do not forget to extract/unzip the upgrade file.
- If the firmware file needed is unavailable from the website, please contact techsupport@specotech.com to acquire the needed file.
- Once the file has been extracted/unzipped, please insert the file into a USB Flash Drive.
- Eject the USB Flash Drive from the computer and insert it into the Speco Blue recorder.
- Once the USB Flash Drive is inserted into the recorder, access the Settings menu of the Speco Blue Recorder.
- Once the Settings menu appears, please select the System page. That should automatically open the General Settings page.
- On the left side of the screen, under the Maintenance section, there is an option for Upgrade. Select the Upgrade option.
- The upgrade menu will reveal the USB Flash Drive and its contents.
- Find and select the upgrade file from the upgrade menu.
- Click upgrade at the bottom.
- Insert the device's administrator username and password as prompted. The recorder will reboot and upgrade once OK is selected.
- If the recorder unit cannot detect the USB Flash Drive, the USB Flash Drive is more than likely not formatted to a FAT32 File Format. The recorder will only recognize an external storage device if it is running a FAT32 File Format.
