3.6 Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address
Under certain circumstances, you may have to reset the camera to its factory IP
address. This could be the case if the IP address of the camera has been lost or the
camera does not react to the last known IP address.
Proceed as follows to start the camera using its factory IP address:
• If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply of the camera by
unplugging the corresponding cable.
• Reconnect power to the camera and observe the LEDs.
• Wait until all six LEDs are lighting up simultaneously.
• After the LEDs have lit up, press the "L" key for about one second.
• LED1 briefly blinks to acknowledge the command and the came-
ra plays a sound ("Boing").
The camera is now accessible again using its factory IP address
(see label on the camera housing).
