How do you reset a Reolink camera?

The most commonly used method is a physical reset via the reset button on the camera.

Step 1: Make sure the camera has power

First make sure the camera is turned on. Depending on the model, this can be done via:

• PoE (Power over Ethernet)

• a 12V power adapter

• a battery or rechargeable battery

Step 2: Locate the reset button

Many Reolink cameras have a reset button:

• at the network connection

• under a small rubber cap

• on the camera cable

• or at the SD card slot

The button is small and can usually be pressed with a paper clip or thin pin.

Step 3: Press and hold the button

Press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds while the camera is on.

Step 4: Wait for the camera to restart

Release the button once the camera restarts. You often hear a sound signal or see the status LED change.

The camera will then be reset to factory settings.
