Keeping Usernames and Passwords After Firmware Revert
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 restore the camera firmware back to the factory default settings, the camera returns to using the
default username and password. When you enable this feature, the camera will continue to use the configured
username and passwords, so the camera cannot connect to new servers without the appropriate credentials.
Important: Forgetting your own username or password after enabling this setting voids your warranty. The
primary method of restoring the factory default username and password will be disabled.
1. At the bottom of the Users page, select 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.
3. 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 camera.
