Hardware Reset
The reset button is used to reset the system or restore the factory default settings. Sometimes
resetting the system can return the camera to normal operation. If the system problems remain
after a reset, press the reset button longer to restore the factory settings and install again.
Reset: Press and release the recessed reset button with a straightened paper clip. Wait for the
Network Camera to reboot.
Restore: Press and hold the recessed reset button for at least several seconds to restore. Note
that all settings will be restored to factory defaults.
Reset Button
1. If you forget the root (administrator) password for the camera, you can restore the camera
defaults by pressing the reset button for longer than 5 seconds.
2. If DHCP is enabled in your network, and the camera cannot be accessed, run the IW2 utility
to search the network. If the camera has been configured with fixed IP that does not comply
with your local network, you may see its default IP 169.254.x.x. If you still cannot find the
camera, you can restore the camera to its factory defaults.
3. If you change your network parameters, e.g., added a connection to a LAN card, re-start the
IW2 utility.
