Updated 2024: Quick Guide to Reset Your HITOSINO/Hikvision Camera with the Reset Button
Introduction
Forgotten your HITOSINO or Hikvision camera password? Don’t worry! This guide focuses on using the reset button to quickly restore your camera’s default settings. With just a few simple steps, you can reset your camera, regain access, and restore your security system in no time.
Preparation Before Resetting
Before starting the reset process, make sure you have the following:
- Power Source: To power up your camera during the reset process. A power source can be a power adapter or a PoE switch/injector/NVR.
- Reset Tool: Prepare a screwdriver to remove the camera cover, and a pin or paperclip to press the reset button.
- SADP Software: Run SADP on your computer to detect and reconfigure the camera after resetting.
Step 1: Power Off the Camera
Disconnect the power supply or PoE cable to turn off the camera.
Step 2: Locate the Reset Button
- For turret and bullet PoE cameras: The reset button is located inside the panel marked "Setting" or "Micro SD Reset." Unscrew the side screws to open the panel. Inside, you’ll find the SD card slot and a small black reset button.
- For dome PoE cameras: The reset button is located on the camera module or near the circuit board, often marked with “Reset” and situated near the Micro SD card slot. It is also a small black button.
Step 3: Reset the camera
- Press and hold the reset button: Ensure the camera is powered on by reconnecting the power supply or PoE cable. Then, use a suitable tool (e.g., a paperclip or pin for pinhole buttons) to press and hold the reset button.
- Hold for 10-15 seconds: Keep holding the reset button until the camera restarts. The indicator lights may flash during this process.
- Release and wait: Release the reset button and wait a few minutes for the camera to reboot and restore factory settings.
-
Check the camera status: If the SADP tool shows the camera as "Inactive," the reset was successful.
-
Set a secure password: Create a new password to protect your camera system.
