3.2.4 Boot Options of the Camera
By default, the camera starts as DHCP client and automatically tries to get an IP address
from a DHCP server. To start the camera in a mode dierent from the default mode, you can
activate the boot menu of the camera.
Preparing the Camera
• Disconnect the camera’s power supply.
• Make sure that you have suitable item such as a paper clip at hand,
but never use
sharp or pointed objects!
• Reconnect the power supply of the camera.
Activating the Boot Menu
The red LED lights up 5 to 10 seconds aer establishing the power supply and will stay on
for 10 seconds. Briey press the key by inserting the paper clip into the hole indicated by
the red circle in the gure. The camera enters the boot menu, ready for selecting one of
the boot options.
The LED now ashes once and repeats the ash signal aer pausing for one second (the
number of ashes indicates the current boot option). To go to the next boot option, briey
press the key again (< 1 sec). Aer the last boot option, the camera returns to the rst option
(LED ashes once).
Selecting a Boot Option
Press the paper clip longer (> 2 sec) into the hole. The camera conrms the selection by
ashing rapidly three times. You can now remove the paper clip. Aer 20 sec, the camera
will conrm the selection by playing a sound according to the table above.
If nothing is selected, the camera will resume its normal boot process aer a certain time.
