Depending on the camera model and hardware version, the reset method may vary. Some cameras are reset by pressing the reset hole with a pin (Left image), while others are reset by pressing the power button (Right image), as shown in the figure below.
Select the correct reset method based on your camera’s reset design (reset hole or power button).
Reset Using the Reset Hole
Step 1. Power on the camera. Open the rubber cover on the bottom of camera. Turn ON the power switch button to power the camera. (If your camera is powered on, you can skip this step.)
Step 2. Press and hold the reset hole with a pin for several seconds until you hear the beeping music. Then, release the pin.
Step 3. Done! You've successfully factory reset your camera. Also, here is a video for your reference:
Reset Using the Power Button
The Power Button and Reset Button are the same physically, but they achieve different effects through different pressing methods. Follow the steps below to reset it correctly.
Step 1. Power on the camera. Open the rubber cover on the bottom of camera. Find the power/reset button on the bottom of camera, and press and hold it for 3 seconds to turn on the camera. (If your camera is powered on, you can skip this step.)
Step 2. Reset the camera. Press the power/reset button three times in a row. Then you will hear a kind of tone sound/short music from this camera.
Step 3. Put the cover back on firmly for your camera.
Done! You've successfully factory reset your camera.
Initial Setup
After resetting, if you hear a startup prompt (such as a welcome message, a beep, or repeated voice guidance), it means the camera has been successfully reset and is now waiting for configuration.
There is no need to reset again. Use your phone to scan the square QR code on the camera body or manually enter its UID (located below the square QR code, starting with 9527) to complete the setup as instructed.
