Firmware Update
Firmware updates improve your camera with enhanced performance and new features. Visit our website once or twice a year to check for firmware updates. Updating your Cuddeback camera firmware is a 2 step process: 1) download firmware from the Cuddeback website, and 2) loading the firmware onto your camera.
