Reset to factory default settings
Important
Reset to factory default should be used with caution. A reset to factory default resets all settings, including the IP address, to
the factory default values.
To reset the product to the factory default settings:
1. Disconnect power from the product.
2. Press and hold the control button while reconnecting power. See Product overview on page 5 .
3. Keep the control button pressed for 15–30 seconds until the status LED indicator flashes amber.
4. Release the control button. The process is complete when the status LED indicator turns green. The product has been reset
to the factory default settings. If no DHCP server is available on the network, the default IP address is
192.168.0.90
.
5. Use the installation and management software tools to assign an IP address, set the password, and access the video stream.
The installation and management software tools are available from the support pages on axis.com/support .
It is also possible to reset parameters to factory default through the web interface. Go to Settings > System > Maintenance and
click Default .
