Roy,
Please unzip the downloaded file and use the .pak file included in it for the upgrade. -
Then if you log in to the camera via browser and do the upgrade, will it work?

The Update still fails.
I think you need to recompile your package - I'm betting it is corrupted. Also, it's not a good idea to use "." as part of the file name - the period should denote the extension only - not used as part of the name.
So from this: IPC_36S16MHSM.889_17083000.C1.ov2710.2MP.WIFI.PTZ.D2.REOLINK.pak
To this: IPC_36S16MHSM_889_17083000_C1_ov2710_2MP_WIFI_PTZ_D2_REOLINK.pak
EDIT - And since this firmware is specific to the C1, there really isn't a reason to include all the extra name info in the filename... We already know it's a WiFi PTZ Reolink camera, right?
Better name: IPC_36S16MHSM_889_17083000_C1_ov2710.pak
Also, using such a long name can be problematic if the full path exceeds the maximum number of characters allowed by Windows...

I also tried changing the file name to "firmware.pak" but the upgrade still fails. This tells me it's a problem with the firmware package itself.

Hi, I'm sorry but I need to point out that there is no newer firmware for C1 pro, and that the firmware for C1 or C2 can not be used for C1 pro, which I should have mentioned earlier. Sorry for wasting your time. But hopefully I think this issue has be solved. Please wait for the future new firmware for C1 pro. Thank you!
