"usually the firmware download is “zipped” - so you have to uncompress the file,

this should be sphost.brn

copy that to the root directory of a blank sd card of at least 8gb

place into the cam, and turn onit should start the update process - then shut down after a couple of minutes. LEAVE IT OFFREMOVE THE SD CARD and format in a pc - BEFORE you turn the cam back on.go to the menu and reset the cam ( near the last item in the menu) - restart the cam againgo to the menu look at version ( near the last item in the menu)

that said . ….. updating these types of cams - Is a bad idea

MOSTLY the updates are not improvements, they are for compatibility reasons, different hardware components are used, (- hense the “New firmware”) and likely differs from the hardware in “Your” cam, and you will “brick it” (won’t work)

99% of problems - are because the sd card you have is too slow (or the wrong firmware already)

- you need a FAST WRITE SPEED U1 card"
