Keeping Usernames and Passwords After Firmware Revert
NOTE:
This feature is only available to cameras and not encoders.
To add a layer of security to protect the camera from theft, you have the option of keeping the camera's current
usernames and passwords after a firmware revert.
Normally if you revert the camera firmware back to the factory default settings, the camera reverts to using the
default username and password. When you enable this feature, the camera will continue to use the configured
username and passwords even after the camera is reverted to its factory default settings.
Important:
If you forget your username or password after enabling this setting, your camera warranty becomes
void because you have disabled the primary method of restoring the factory default username and password.
1. At the bottom of the Users page, check the
Do not clear usernames or passwords on firmware revert
check box.
2. After you select the check box, the following popup message appears:
Please store your administrator password in a safe place. Password recovery is not covered
by warranty and loss of password may void your warranty.
Click
OK
if you agree to the feature limitations.
Always keep a copy of your password in a safe place to avoid losing access to your cameras.
System
On the System page, you can manually upgrade the camera firmware, reboot the camera, and restore all of the
camera’s factory default settings.
