After powering up, the Network Camera performs a self-diagnostic to detect any
hardware defects. The following table lists the LED patterns in general. In case of any
fatal error, the LED will blink in a pattern other than those below.

Reset and Restore
At the left side of the camera there is a button
hidden in the pinhole as shown in the picture.
It is used to reset the system or restore the
factory default settings. Sometimes resetting
the system sets the system back to normal
state. If the system problems remain after
reset, restore the factory settings and install
again.
RESET: Poke the wrench to click on the button.
RESTORE: 1. Poke the wrench to press on the
button continuously. 2. Wait for self-diagnostic.
During the diagnostic period, the red & green
lights will flick for several times. 3. Withdraw
the wrench when all the lights are off.
Restoring the factory defaults
will erase any previous settings.
Reset or restore the system after
power on.
