Q26 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera
3.2.4 Boot Options of the Camera
By default, the camera starts as DHCP client and automatically tries to get an IP address
from a DHCP server. To start the camera in a mode different from the default mode, you can
activate the boot menu of the camera.
Preparing the Camera
• Disconnect the camera’s power supply.
• Make sure that you have suitable item such as a paper clip at hand,
but never use
sharp or pointed objects!
• Reconnect the power supply of the camera.
Activating the Boot Menu
The red LED lights up 5 to 10 seconds after establishing the power supply and will stay on
for 10 seconds. Briefly press the key by inserting the paper clip into the hole indicated by
the red circle in the figure. The camera enters the boot menu, ready for selecting one of
the boot options.
The LED now flashes once and repeats the flash signal after pausing for one second (the
number of flashes indicates the current boot option). To go to the next boot option, briefly
press the key again (< 1 sec). After the last boot option, the camera returns to the first option
(LED flashes once).
Selecting a Boot Option
Press the paper clip longer (> 2 sec) into the hole. The camera confirms the selection by
flashing rapidly three times. You can now remove the paper clip. After 20 sec, the camera
will confirm the selection by playing a sound according to the table above.
If nothing is selected, the camera will resume its normal boot process after a certain time.
