Some cameras (Covert wireless specifically) let you download the firmware from the camera without having to use a computer.

There maybe an option in the menu on the camera to update the firmware, but essentially, yes

When you save the firmware to your computer it is likely saved in your "Downloads" file folder. Insert the SD card into the computer, then drag and drop the file from the Downloads file to the SD card.
