How to reset IP camera settings to factory defaults

What are you trying to do?

Resetting IP Cameras to Factory Settings

Sometimes it becomes necessary to reset the IP camera settings to factory defaults. This is usually required if you have forgotten your password or login, or if after reconfiguring the camera it malfunctions or does not work at all, but you can enter the camera control interface, which allows you to reset the settings.

Some IP cameras have a dedicated reset button. It is usually hidden from prying eyes and to find it, you need to look at the instruction manual of your IP camera.

The instructions usually tell you the location of the reset button hole, and what gimbals sold with your camera will help you reset.

You also need to remember that the reset button may not be located in a small hole in the camera body, but be inside the camera, where access without opening the camera body is not possible. Sometimes this button can be found in a bundle of wires coming out of the camera. This is usually the location of the reset button for outdoor surveillance cameras.

So you’ve found the button. What’s next? To reset, you will need to connect the power of the camera and wait for it to turn on completely. Then press the button and hold it for a few seconds. That’s all. the camera will reboot and will already be with factory settings.

But what if the camera doesn’t have a button? Special programs will help you to reboot.

To do this, connect the IP camera to the local network of the computer or directly to the PC network interface and turn on the power. Install special software on your computer. For example, for equipment to the xmeye platform, the program can be downloaded from this link resetuser.zip.

For cameras from other manufacturers, you will find applications independently and without any problems.

If you don’t find that one, contact those who sold or installed the camera for you. Experts will help.

Next, you need to install the program on your computer and run. A window similar to the one shown in the figure will appear. Here you need to enter the IP address of the camera and click Run or Reset. Factory reset will take some time.

After the reset, you can enter the camera control interface using the standard login and password set by the camera manufacturer. Below we provide a list of such data for cameras from various manufacturers.

If the camera belongs to group A, you need to make a forwarding to the external network of ports 80 and 6000.

If the camera belongs to group B, you need to make a forwarding to the external network of ports 80 and 1115.

Port forwarding must be done symmetrically (we forward port 80 to 80, and accordingly 6000. 6000, 1115. 1115)

After successful port forwarding, send a password reset request to technical support at reset@trassir.com indicating the camera model, external IP address and matching ports for connection.

A ticket will be automatically created on the technical support portal, and a notification with the request number will be sent in response.

It is possible to control the status of the request and leave comments using the technical support portal (instructions for working with the portal).

You can also continue to communicate with technical support specialists via mail, sending replies to messages from the portal or to letters from technical support specialists (the request number must be indicated in the subject line)

After completing the reset procedure, a technical support specialist will send a notification by email.

Reset MikroTik hAP ac2 settings

How to reset MikroTik to factory settings? Is this possibility provided by the functionality of RouterOS? You will get answers to these questions by reading the article.

You can master MikroTik using the online course “Configuring MikroTik Equipment”. The course covers all topics from the official MTCNA program. The author is the official trainer of MikroTik. The material is suitable both for those who have been working with MikroTik equipment for a long time, and for those who have not yet held it in their hands. Includes 162 video lessons, 45 laboratory works, self-test questions and a synopsis.

How to reset MikroTik router to factory settings

In Mikrotik routers, factory reset can be done in three ways:

• Program. To reset the MIkrotik configuration in this way, you need to go to the device, for this you need to know the username and password of a user with full rights.
• Hardware. Used in case you have forgotten your password and cannot log into the router. Physical access to equipment will be required.
• Hardware and software. It is performed using the proprietary Mikrotik Netintall utility. This method is used in the most urgent cases and is discussed in detail in a separate article.

Hard reset Mikrotik

• Disconnect the power supply;
• Press the Reset button;
• Turn on the power;
• Wait for the indicator to start blinking;
• Release the button.

IMPORTANT! Do not wait for the LED to stop blinking, as this will put the router into the RouterOS reinstall mode.

This is true for models such as hAP ac2. On old Mikrotik, it will not be possible to reset the parameters in this way. There is a jumper for a hard reset. It is enough to insert it into the switched off device, then apply power and wait for the router to reboot. After that, the jumper is removed. But such routers are now extremely rare. The most commonly used reset is via the Reset button.

Connect after reset

When the device reboots and initializes, the router will be displayed in the Neighbors tab of the Winbox window:

• Select Mikrotik by clicking on the MAC of the device;
• Connect to: MAC address of the equipment;
• Login: admin;
• Password: (there is no account password by default);
• Connect.
