Step 3. Click on Download Suport Information, it will open a new page.

Step 4. Check all the boxes and click Download

Step 5. A new download will be prompted, save the file.

The file should have an .eml extension. In some cases the browser will append additional extensions. In this case Safari appended .txt.

Remove this additional extension and send the file to support along with a detailed description of the problem.

In P2 cameras ( M12, D12, M22, Q22 ) and cameras running software versions earlier than 4.0.1.2

Software versions prior to 4.0.1.12 do not have the Download Support Information link under the Admin menu.
The Download Support Information dialog can be accessed with the following command using a web browser.

Example:
http://192.168.123.123/admin/report.dmp

Then follow Steps 4 and 5.
