Install Collage updates through Command

Install Collage updates through Command

Here is the latest APK for Collage: Collage 5.9.0.7373. To know if this version is compatible with your Clear Touch IFP, please refer to the Collage feature update list: https://support.getcleartouch.com/portal/en/kb/articles/panel-collage-app-update-record


Please note that the 6000U series cannot update past Collage v2. This is due to a chipset limitation. Although you can successfully install a newer version of Collage on the 6000U series panel through Command, this version will have limited functionality. We do NOT recommend installing new versions (> v2.0) on the 6000U series panel. Please confirm the model of panels receiving the installation before attempting the update. The 6000U series was available from 2017-2018 and will have a model number in this format L55EB, L65EB, L70EB, 75EB, or L86EB. As always, you can call Support for assistance at 864-643-5045.

Please refer to this guide for pushing the Collage App to all panels enrolled in the Command interface.
