FAQ: Rebooting Devices

What are the methods for rebooting the device?
Rebooting the device can be done through two methods: software-based online reboot and hardware reboot. For battery-powered cameras, you can perform a power cycle by turning the camera's power switch on/off. For other cameras, NVRs, or Hubs, rebooting can be done by unplugging and re-plugging the power source.
Will rebooting the device cause any configuration loss?
No, rebooting the device will not result in the loss of configurations, Wi-Fi disconnection, SD card formatting, or deletion of any settings.
Can I reboot the device remotely?
If the device is online and accessible remotely, you can reboot it via the software interface from a remote location.
How to Reboot Devices Connected to NVR?
If the PoE camera/Wi-Fi camera(plug-in) is connected to the NVR with the Ethernet cable, or if the battery-powered camera is connected to the NVR, you cannot reboot the camera via the Reolink devices. You can only reboot the camera physically by switching off/on the camera or unplugging/re-plugging the power supply from the camera.
Can't See the Reboot Option?
Please make sure you are using the administration account for the device, as only this account has the necessary permissions to reboot the device.
