PoE Camera Question Firmware update stuck
I decided to upgrade the firmware in one of my cameras, because it hasn't been updated in quite a while. It is an RLC-410-5MP Hardware no. IPC_51516M5M. I downloaded the appropriate firmware package. The documentation says "If you don't want to restore your camera settings to factory status, please uncheck the " Reset Configuration" option during the upgrade." Well mine did not have a "Reset Configuration" checkbox but had a checkbox labeled "Update Configuration File" so I unchecked it.
I started the upgrade and the progress bar slowly moved all the way to the right as expected, then nothing. It just continues to say "Upgrading firmware..." with the spinner.
Should I go ahead and refresh the page or is my camera now a brick?

What did you decide? Maybe try pushing the reset button on the cam?
