1. If you forget the root (administrator) password for the camera, you can restore the camera
defaults by pressing the reset button for longer than 5 seconds.
2. If DHCP is enabled in your network, and the camera cannot be accessed, run the Shepherd
utility to search the network. If the camera has been congured with a xed IP that does not
comply with your local network, you may see its default IP 169.254.x.x. If you still cannot nd
the camera, you can restore the camera to its factory defaults. The factory default is DHCP
client.
3. If you change your network parameters, e.g., added a camera via a connection to a LAN
card, re-start the Shepherd utility.
