Camera

Whether to upload a new firmware to the device sensors.

  • uEye based cameras require their firmware to be compatible with the installed uEye driver. Opening will fail if the current firmware is incompatible and an upload is not allowed by this flag.

  • Updating GigE Vision based cameras while opening is not supported. Use the UpdateFirmware command instead.

Note

Make sure to safely connect the camera to power and Ethernet to avoid interrupting the firmware upload. The firmware upload takes approximately one minute.
