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 35) or use the Reset button
at the rear of the camera (see the illustration on page 6) as described below:
Using the Reset Button
To reset the camera to the factory default settings using the Reset Button:
1. Disconnect the power adapter, or the network cable if using PoE.
2. Press and hold the Reset button while reconnecting the power.
3. Keep the Reset button pressed until the Status Indicator color changes to amber
(this may take up to 15 seconds).
4. Release the Reset 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
Advanced
Scripting is an advanced function that provides the means for customizing and using
scripts.
Caution!
The scripting function is a very powerful tool. Improper use may cause unexpected
behavior or even loss of contact with the unit. If a script does cause problems, reset the
unit to its factory default settings (in which case, a previously saved backup file will be
useful for returning the unit to its latest configuration). Axis strongly recommends that
you do not use this function unless you fully understand the consequences. Axis
support provide no assistance for customized scripts.

Plain Config - this function is for the advanced user with previous experience of
configuring Axis cameras. All parameters can be set and modified from this page,
including the audio encoding format. Help is available via the links on the standard setup
pages.
