How to upgrade if SHR DVR is older than V2.16?
-
V2.16 or older : current version → v2.17 → the newest version
-
V2.19 or newer : current version → the newest version
V2.17 is a temporal version for easy upgrading.
Before we released v2.17, you have to upgrade bios, zImage and jffs files by serial cable.

can easily upgrading above all 3 files by USB memory or network at one go.

for example, “shr-5162-pkg(B3.09)(K1.55)_V2.25_0803061721.tgz”.
SHR Series do not support renaming of *.tgz file.

Can I use different user levels when I connect via Network?
Multi-user level (User1~User5) and its different authority settings of
SHR-2XXX/5XXX Series are for the DVR unit itself.
These configurations are not applied to WebViewer, SmartViewer and NetI.
For network access, there are only ADMIN and USER.
You can configure the password for them from
MENU > Network > IP Settings > Admin Password / User Password.
If you logon by USER permission, you will not have the rights to control

It is regretted that it can not be applied to SHR-2XXX and SHR-5XXX Series

saved in DVR unit. (additional local logins will be same as network logins)
