As an additional benefit and convenience to our customers, DORC® has added the ability for you to download the latest version of our PMS software directly from this website. 

DORC® recently released version 6.XX of the PMS software. This latest software version incorporates dozens of new features and capabilities that are unmatched in the industry. Many of these new features are very processor intensive, such as the ability to electronically zoom in on most images - including live video. Although this version is extremely powerful and feature rich, it has become clear that there will be minimum computer hardware configurations that are capable of running this software. The absolute MINIMUM requirement is a Pentium 4 processor of 1.7GHz or greater, with 512MB of RAM. If your system meets this requirement you can download the upgrade now. If not, there are two choices. Firstly, you can upgrade to the latest PMS software version that does not have computer hardware restrictions, or alternatively, we can upgrade your computer to the latest Pentium 4, 3.0GHz configuration. To obtain details on computer upgrades please contact DORC® directly, or for international customers, contact your local representative. 

Note: Close ALL programs, especially PMS before starting an upgrade! On Windows 2000 and XP Professional systems, you MUST be logged on as an ADMINISTRATOR before installing the software. Once the upgrade is complete, SHUT DOWN AND THEN PHYSICALLY PULL OUT THE POWER CORD ON BOTH THE COMPUTER AND THE ZX-1 BEFORE RESTARTING. This process will force the updated firmware to reload.

IMPORTANT:
Hard drive imaging using products like Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost is a swift, reliable and inexpensive process these days. Taking this preventative measure BEFORE any upgrade or just a a precaution when a system is running smoothly can save lots of time and money in the event of corruption or hard drive failure. This is especially true on older systems. Hard drives are by far the most common failure on a PC!!
