In this article we will explain how to reset the Avigilon cameras. There are many reasons why you may need to reset the camera such as lost password or if the camera no longer functions as expected. After the reset, Avigilon cameras go to the default settings (factory settings). For each Avigilon camera line, the firmware revert button and the camera reset process is shown below (read the applicable models carefully). Note that resetting the camera will erase any previous settings on the camera, including the credentials (username/password).
