Factory Reset legacy Amano IP Cameras (sold prior to 2018)

Factory Reset legacy Amano IP Cameras (sold prior to 2018)

Resetting a camera back to the factory default will initialize all settings and parameters including the IP address back to the factory defaults.  You may find the default IP by looking at the last four characters of the MAC address.  

NOTE: this article only applies to legacy cameras sold prior to 2018.

To revert the camera back to its factory defaults:

  1. Remove the dome lid.
  2. Press and hold the white reset button while powering up the unit, release the button after 10 seconds.
  3. Wait for the camera to reboot.

The factory default details below include an IP that is determined by last four characters of the MAC.  Each of the last two octets are equivalent to their HEX to Decimal conversion.

IP Format:

192.168.yy.zz

MAC xx:xx:xx:xx:yy:zz

Example:

11:22:33:44:AB:CD

AB HEX = 171 DEC

CD HEX = 205 DEC

Therefore, default Camera IP with a MAC ending in AB:CD would be 192.168.171.205.

NOTE: Hex to Decimal calculators are built into most phones and computers, however, you can use a website like calculator.net.  

Defaults:

IP address: 192.168.xx.yy

Network mask: 255.255.0.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

User ID: root

Password: pass
