Upgrade the firmware to the latest before you use your Cisco Desk Camera.
We are constantly delivering new features and enhancements for the existing features. Keep the camera firmware up to date so that you get the latest features and improvements. For the new features and enhancements in each firmware release, see the release notes:
You can follow any of the methods stated in the following sections to upgrade your camera. We recommend that you use Cisco Accessory Hub, which has no dependencies on other apps.
The Cisco Accessory Hub enables you to upgrade the camera firmware through your web browser. The tool automatically checks your camera model and current firmware version, and gives you the option to upgrade your camera if there is a newer version available.
