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.
