I downloaded the update file from this page with the file name: S12_HD_SMS_III_S328_S328B.zip .
After unzipping the file .zip there is a file FW96650.OTA. I need to extract and unzip this file to get the file FW96650A.bin
How to extract this OTA file to BIN format ?
I can't update the file from the camera menu:
How to update a newer camera (.OTA-file)
I can only update using the .bin file
How to update an older camera (.BIN-file)

How to update a newer camera (.OTA-file)
1. Put the camera first to OFF-mode. Move the .ota file to the root/main folder of the camera's SD card. Either use the supplied USB cable to connect the camera to the computer or remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into the computer or a card reader. After transferring the file, remove the USB cable or insert the memory card back into the camera.
2. Start the camera in SETUP mode by moving the power switch to the centre position.
3. Once the camera has started up, press the MENU button to open the settings, then go to the system page (gear icon), you can move around using the arrow buttons. In the settings page, scroll down until you see "Update", press OK when "Update" is selected and press OK to confirm the update.
4. When the update is complete, you will need to restore the default settings. Press the MENU button to return to Settings and go to the System page. To restore the default settings, press the down arrow and locate "Default settings", when selected, press OK and select OK and press OK button.
5. Restoring the default settings activates the automatic send settings. If your camera has Burrel+, the default sending setting is Burrel+-Service and without Burrel+ it is Email.
6. Adjust the rest of the camera settings using the arrow keys (mode, sensitivity, shooting delay, remote control, email address, phone number), but do not touch the send settings.
7. The camera is now ready for use. Make sure the camera is sending images before using the camera on site.
In Burrel+ cameras you must upload the camera settings to the server, otherwise the camera will lose them after rebooting. To upload camera settings, press "Menu", then go to the "Wireless" page, press the down arrow and select "Upload settings", press the OK button.
