Reset and Restore

There is a button hidden in the pinhole beside the Ethernet socket. It is used to reset the system or restore the factory default settings. Sometimes resetting the DCS-5300will return the system back to a normal state. If the system still has problems after reset, restore the factory settings and install again:

RESET: 1. Lightly insert a paper clip (or a similar sized tool) into the reset hole on the back of the camera, press lightly and then release the button.

2.The LED on the front of the camera will begin blinking red and green.

3.When the LED stops the blinking the reset has completed.

RESTORE: 1. Insert the paperclip or other tool and press on the button continuously.

2.Wait for the LED on the front of the camera to blink red and green and hold the button through two cycles of blinking (about 5-7 seconds.)

3.Withdraw the tool after the second cycle of the LED blinking and a factory restore has been completed.

Restoring the factory defaults will result in the loss of any previous settings and will require running the IP Installer to return the DCS-5300to a normal state.
