In that process, all settings alterations you’ve made since day one stay the same, with only the password being erased. With a password reset, the only information that is changed is the password. You might already see how this is different than something like a password change, or reset, but for clarity’s sake, we will elaborate on that. When we return the recorder to factory default, what we are doing is essentially erasing all local settings data from the recorder, and restoring it to a state similar to how it existed upon its very first boot-up. When you put in a new password or change the username for the admin account, this again is altering the factory default settings.
Default avrecorder update#
When you update the IP info on the recorder to be DHCP or static, and it pulls an IP from your router you have changed the setting from default. Every camera you add puts information into the registry- which by default has no information.

These changes can be made to many different options. Additionally, as you use the recorder there will be many parameters you change.

While Factory Default, a recorder usually has a default IP address of 192.168.1.108 as is common per our equipment. For example, by default, the recorder’s primary user account name is “admin”, while in contrast the recorder does not even have a default password and must be given one. When a recorder or camera is still factory default, there’s lots of information they do not have yet. When you power on a recorder for the first time, this device must be initialized and this process will it out of its default state. As mentioned earlier, when you first buy a recorder or camera it is in a ‘default’ state, you haven’t yet turned it on and given it information that would change its settings to be unique to your circumstances. The word ‘default’ has various meanings but is always some variation of ‘the use of the only options available when no other options are present.” In this context, it means the settings or lack of chosen settings within the recorder before it has ever been operated by the end-user. This is because, out of the box, your recorder is in what we call a ‘factory default’ state. When you first purchase your recorder and power it on it is going to ask you to go through several different steps before you can use it to perform basic tasks like pulling footage, or setting up cameras. Often times we find that there is a little bit of confusion surrounding these concepts, when, and why to take advantage of them.

Default avrecorder how to#
Earlier this week we released an article very similar to the topic of how to factory default, which was how to perform a password reset. We also want to take the time to explain why, and when it would be appropriate to use this option versus other options that might be available to you.
