Nx Witness allows for cameras to be reset to factory defaults.

Note: These settings are available for ONVIF-compliant cameras only.

1.Open Camera Settings and select Advanced.

2.Click on Maintenance under Settings. (If the Settings list is empty, the camera is not ONVIF-compliant.)

3.Click on one of the following:

•System Reboot – reboots the camera and saves settings.

•Soft Factory Reset – reboots the camera and restores all settings related to the image but not the IP address.

•Hard Factory Reset – reboots the camera and restores all settings (Network, Authorization, IP address, etc).

IMPORTANT: The reboot is performed instantly once selected.

It is also possible to reboot a camera from its w eb page. See "Configuring Proprietary Device Parameters".
