The IP Dome has a built in recovery process which will allow you to upload the latest firmware if
the camera is unable to restart.
If the camera encounters three unsuccessful restarts in a row it will automatically enter the
Camera Recovery section. When this occurs Figure 8-35 the Camera Recovery screen will be
displayed.
