INSTAR Camera Tool for Windows, MacOS and Linux (Windows Version 2.0.9.0 / MacOS Version 1.9 / Linux Version 1.0 / Date 12.03.2020)
The INSTAR Search Tool allows you to search for your camera inside your network. This tool will scan all IPs in order to find all of our IP cameras which are connected to either your router, switch or computer. You can also use the INSTAR Camera Tool to update to the latest firmware or WebUI.
Download the newest firmware version for your INSTAR HD camera on the left side and unpack the downloaded ZIP file. Once unpacked you will find a "update.pkg" file. Please open the web interface of your camera inside the web browser and go to "Software - Upgrade" and select the "update.pkg" file in order to upload it to your camera. Press submit and wait for about 12 minutes until the update is complete. Below we show you an overview of the new INSTAR Cloud platform which is now available (currently the video is only in German, but the platform itself is also available in English):
The firmware is now saving all settings before the update and restores them after the update. Please note, that therefor the update can take up to 12 minutes. Usually the update is done after 7-8 minutes. Never unplug the power during an update, stay relaxed... the camera will need a certain time to restore the old settings during the update process.
