There are three ways to perform a factory reset

2. If you look at the side of the camera to the left of the SD card slot there is a small hole with a black button inside.
3. Use a pen or a small object and depress the black button for 30 seconds.
4. Once you release the button, give the camera 1-2 minutes to start up

2 - SOFT RESET

1. If you know the IP address of the camera, type that into a browser to view camera.
2. You will be prompted to enter username and password. Default Username is “admin” and password is “admin”.
