Section 2 - Installation
Mechanical Reset
If the mechanical PTZ controls ever stop responding or seem to be
locked up, you may reset the mechanical portion of the camera using the
communication pin array at the base of the device.
1. Use a small tool to move switch 5 to the “off” position.
2. Plug the camera in for one minute and allow the device to initialize.
3. Return the pin back to its original “on” position.
4. Plug in the camera, and the device should successfully initialize.
Digital Reset
If the camera’s web user interface ever becomes unresponsive, or if the
administrator password is forgotten, it may become necessary to reset
the device firmware to its original factory settings.
1. Press and hold the green button on the base of the camera for 10
seconds.
2. Allow a few minutes for the camera to re-initialize factory default
settings.
Resetting the Camera
The DCS-6616 contains both digital and mechanical components. Thus, if any problems are experienced with the
camera, there are two different reset options depending on the type of problem.
