IMPORTANT:
A hardware reset of the Internet Camera may be required if the
Installation Wizard
cannot find the camera. To accomplish this reset, press the reset hole on the back of the
camera (see page 126 for the location of the reset hole). The LED on the front of the
camera will begin blinking red and blue. When it stops the blinking cycle continue to
hold in the reset button until a second cycle of blinking red and blue lights indicates a
second reset cycle has completed. This will take approximately 5-7 seconds.
