Important for update FW 3.1.2.66, WebUI 1.19: aa

The firmware now saves all settings before the update and restores them after the update. Please note that the update may therefore take up to 8 minutes. Typically, however, the update is completed within 3-5 minutes. Never unplug the power cord during the update. The camera needs some time during the update process to restore the old settings.
