Keeping Usernames and Passwords AfterFirmware Revert
NOTE: This feature is only available to cameras and not encoders.
To add a layer of security to protect the camera from theft, you have the option of keeping the camera's current
usernames and passwords after a firmware revert.
Normally if you revert the camera firmware back to the factory default settings, the camera reverts to using the
default username and password. When you enable this feature, the camera will continue to use the configured
username and passwords, so the camera cannot connect to new servers without the appropriate credentials.
Important: If you forget your own username or password after enabling this setting, your camera warranty
becomes void because you have disabled the primary method of restoring the factory default username and
password.
1. At the bottom of the Users page, check the Do not clear usernames or passwords on firmware revert
box.
2. After you select the check box, the following popup message appears:
Please store your administrator password in a safe place. Password recovery is not covered
by warranty and loss of password may void your warranty.
ClickOK if you agree to the feature limitations.
Always keep a copy of your password in a safe place to avoid losing access to your cameras.
