⚠️
CRITICAL: Firmware Update Required Before First Use Without completing these steps, your machine will be unresponsive and the camera will not capture images.
1

Download Software (Mega Version 1.0.6.3 | Mega S Version 1.0.1.3)

Install the M-Design Hub (MDH) software package on your Windows computer to begin setup. Mac is not recommended for network configuration due to compatibility issues.

🚫
DO NOT upgrade to Version 1.8.1

If you see a prompt to upgrade to v1.8.1 during this process, skip it. The firmware update must be completed using Mega V1.0.6.3 & Mega S V1.0.1.3 first.
