AXIS 207 - System Options 35

Resetting to the Factory Default Settings

To reset the camera to the original factory default settings, go to the System Options > Maintenance web page (as described in Maintenance, on page 34) or use the Control button on the underside of the camera (see page 7) as described below:

Using the Control Button

To reset the camera to the factory default settings using the Control Button:

1.Disconnect the power adapter.

2.Press and hold the Control button while reconnecting the power.

3.Keep the Control button pressed until the Status Indicator color changes to amber (this may take up to 15 seconds).

4.Release the Control button.

5.When the Status Indicator changes to Green (which may take up to 1 minute), the process is complete and the camera has been reset. The unit will now have the default IP address 192.168.0.90, or, if the network uses a DHCP server, it will now have a new dynamic IP address.

Advanced

Scripting is an advanced function that provides the possibility to customize and use scripts. This function is a very powerful tool.

Caution!

Improper use may cause unexpected behavior or even cause loss of contact with the unit. If a script does cause problems, reset the unit to its factory default settings. A backup file may be of use to return the unit to its latest configuration.

Axis strongly recommends that you do not use this function unless you fully understand the consequences. Note that Axis support does not provide assistance for problems with customized scripts.
