Technical Limitations: There are no inherent technical limitations regarding the number of camera firmware updates that can be triggered at once. However, it is important to note that there is currently no option to cancel an update campaign. Therefore, if any unexpected issues arise during the update process, such as network incompatibilities, it will not be possible to halt the update.
Recommendations:
1. Test the update for a new firmware version and camera platform (CPP) in a representative setup, using one device for each combination in a specific location or site.
2. Once the initial test is successful, proceed with rolling out the update for the entire site.
3. If the update is successful for the entire site, gradually increase the scope by rolling out the update step by step, increasing the number of cameras involved
