D9 — Firmware Upgrade

There are two ways to flash the D9 — the normal in-app upgrade, and a forced SD-card reflash used to recover a bricked device.

warning

Do not cut power, remove the SD card, or operate the device during any firmware upgrade. Interrupting the flash can brick the unit.

Method 1 — In-App Upgrade (Traqcam Connect)​

Use this whenever the device is working normally.

  1. Prepare a 16 GB – 128 GB storage card.
  2. Insert it into the D9 and format it through the Traqcam Connect app (System → Format SD Card).
  3. On a computer, copy SigmastarUpgradeSD.bin into the root directory of the storage card.
  4. Insert the prepared card back into the device.
  5. Power on the device.
  6. Connect the device in Traqcam Connect → System → Firmware Version.
  7. Wait 1–3 minutes — the device will restart and emit a beep when done.

    • SigmastarUpgradeSD.bin
  4. Insert the prepared card into the device.
