How to restore Bosch IP cameras to the factory defaults?

[#1]

Step-by-step guide

1. Type in the camera IP address in a web browser
2. Authenticate on the camera with its credentials
3. Go to CONFIGURATION > CAMERA > INSTALLER MENU, then select Factory Defaults.

A confirmation screen appears. Allow several seconds for the camera to optimize the picture after a reset.

Note: Clicking this button also clears the service-level password.

Important:

• "Factory Default" in FW 7.72 → This FW does not change any network settings. In this FW version, it only defaults the camera settings, encoder settings, etc. Everything except the Network Settings.

• Starting with FW 7.80 → there are many more choices for Defaults and one of those would be to Default everything, including the network settings.
