How do I reset or restore my DCS-6111 to the factory default settings?

The hidden button in the pinhole beside the Ethernet socket is used to reset the system or restore the factory default settings. Sometimes resetting the DCS-6111 will return the system back to a normal state. If the system still has problems after reset, restore the factory settings and install again:

RESET:

Step 1:   Lightly insert a paper clip (or a similar sized tool) into the reset
hole on the back of the camera, press lightly and then release the
button.

Step 2:   The LED on the front of the camera will begin blinking red and
green.

Step 3:   When the LED stops the blinking the reset has completed.

 

Step 2:   Wait for the LED on the front of the camera to blink red and green
and hold the button for 30 seconds.

Step 3:   Withdraw the tool after the second cycle of the LED blinking and
a factory restore has been completed.
