11. Manual Camera Reset
If the camera ever becomes unresponsive after an update, or Administrator access is lost, it may be necessary to manually reset
the camera back to default configuration. The procedure was designed to require significant effort so that resets could not easily be
done with malicious intent. For this reason, it may be necessary to remove the camera to do the reset unless an assistant can help.
Warning! Resetting the camera erases ALL settings, including IP and user/admin settings. Use the IP Installer
software to rediscover the camera on the network after the reset. The IP address will return to DHCP.
11.1. Reset Procedure
Important! You must have direct access to the camera and its power source to reset the firmware. Have a way
of reaching the camera. Have an assistant to help control power, or remove the camera to perform the reset.
A.
Remove power to the camera at the power supply location or by disconnecting the network cable from the network (if using
PoE power).
B.
Open the camera dome and rotate the gimbal so the small black momentary switch on the board is accessible:
C. To perform the reset, the button must be pressed and held for 30 seconds while power is applied. The button must remain
pressed for the entire 30 seconds.
D. After 30 seconds, release the button. The camera will boot up as normal and can be discovered on the network again using the
IP Installer software.
