Keeping Usernames and Passwords After Firmware Revert
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.
If you have set your camera to use FIPS 140-2 encryption, we recommend that you do not choose to
keep usernames and passwords after a firmware revert. The password and username is not stored in
a FIPS 140-2 compliant manner and may affect your FIPS 140-2 compliance.
Normally if you restore the camera firmware back to the factory default settings, the camera returns 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: Forgetting your own username or password after enabling this setting voids your
warranty. The primary method of restoring the factory default username and password will be
disabled.
