How to reset an IP camera to factory settings

The need to reset the IP camera settings occurs in two cases:

• You need to reset your password because you forgot or lost it.
• After reconfiguring the camera, it works in an abnormal mode or simply does not turn on and at the same time you DO NOT have the opportunity to enter the camera control interface to correct the situation

The following are two options for resetting the IP camera

• Factory reset with dedicated button
• Reset settings on cameras that do not have a dedicated button

With the introduction of the reset button

There are several ways to reset the settings, and they may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. The easiest way is to press the secret reset button. In most cases, the location of such a button is indicated in the instruction manual of your IP camera.

The picture below is a snapshot of the yoosee camera instruction, where the location of the reset button hole is indicated. In this case, the camera settings are reset using a special tool that comes with the camera.

For more information on resetting the settings on yoosee cameras, see the instructions for setting up PTZ Wi-Fi cameras.

The reset button can be located in a small hole in the camera body or inside the camera without access from outside. In this case, to access the reset button, you must open the camera body. Also, in some cases, the reset button is located in the bundle of wires leaving the camera. This option is usually found in street cameras.

If your camera has such a button, then in order to reset its settings, you must connect the camera power and wait until it is fully turned on. Next, you press and hold the reset button for a few seconds, after which the camera reboots with factory settings.

No reset button

If your camera does not have such a button, then the settings are reset using the special GoPro software.

Such a need periodically arises in the IP cameras of the HiQ, Vesta, SVplus brands and many others that work with the XMEYE cloud service.

To reset the IP camera settings Connect it to the local network of your computer or directly to the network interface of the computer and turn on the power.

Next, you need to install the software.

For xmeye IP cameras download. resetuser.ZIP.

For second models, ask for the appropriate software from the manufacturer, dealer or supplier of your camera.

Unpack the downloaded file and run ResetUser.Exe. In the window that appears, enter the IP addresses of your camera and click execute. Reset procedure Will take some time.

Then the camera settings will be reset. You can enter the camera control interface using a standard login and password (for xmeye cameras, login is admin, password is empty)

If you do not have direct access to the camera, simply use your web browser to open the IP camera menu and look for restoring the default settings:

Navigate to: Maintenance Default Configuration Restore.

You can restore all camera settings, but keep the IP addresses used by the camera.

This is a great idea, especially if you are working remotely and do NOT want to lose access to your IP camera when restoring to factory defaults.

Update the firmware to the latest version

After resetting the Hikvision camera, it is recommended to update it to the latest firmware available on the manufacturer’s website.

There are some security issues associated with older firmware that can cause a hacker to break into your camera even without using a password. You can find more information on this issue in the article: How to hack a Hikvision camera.

Hikvision devices have a unified settings menu, so, following this manual, you can configure other DVR models from this GoPro manufacturer.

Working with the kit, as a rule, is limited to the interaction of the user with the registrar. The graphical user interface is completely Russified and contains a classic set of settings that has become an unspoken standard for all digital recorders.
