How Do I Check My Camera Firmware Version?
You can check your camera firmware version through multiple methods in OWS.
Inventory Report
View camera firmware versions in the Inventory Report under Reports in the OWS Cloud Portal.
If you haven't created an Inventory Report, follow these steps to create new Inventory Reports.
The Cameras tab on the Inventory Report includes the following information:
| Location Name | Estimated Event Retention (Days) | Audio |
| Device Name | Continuous Resolution | 360 |
| Camera Name | Continuous FPS | Analytics |
| Manufacturer | Continuous Bitrate | IP Address |
| Model Name (Generation / Revision) | Continuous GOP | MAC Address |
| Serial Number | Continuous Storage | Integration ID |
| Firmware | Continuous Retention (Days) | Integration Camera ID |
| Total Storage Used | Estimated Continuous Retention (Days) | Device Custom ID |
| Total Retention (Days) | Recording Mode | Recorder Device ID |
| Event Resolution | Minimum Retention Limit | Notes |
| Event FPS | Minimum Continuous Retention Limit (Days) | Warranty End Date |
| Event Bitrate | Minimum Motion Retention Limit (Days) | |
| Event GOP | Total Storage Available | |
| Event Storage | Motion Type | |
| Event Retention (Days) | PTZ |
NOTE: Model Name includes the Model Name of the Camera, Generation, and Revision.
NOTE: On the Cameras tab, the Total Storage Available and IP Address columns are locked to prevent users from attempt to sort.
NOTE: Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the Inventory Report screen to view more columns.
NOTE: You can customize the Recorder Inventory Report table. See Table Functionality for more information.
