How to factory default or reset an AvertX camera
AvertX cameras can be factory defaulted/reset. Most can be factory defaulted/reset through a hardware Reset button on the body of the camera. They can also be reset through the software via the camera's user interface (UI).
Camera software UI resets provide an option for a partial camera default/reset that can restore video stream settings and won't change the camera's password or its current network settings.
The location of the Reset button location on each camera and the instructions for resetting the camera through the software's UI can be found in the respective manuals.
