Need help resetting without reset button

Post by pipfan »

I upgraded to a new router that has different IP configurations. I'm looking for a reset switch on my camera but am not finding one. Photo of the camera is attached. Not sure which model this is. Any help is appreciated!

Unfortunately, I don't know what the model number is, but it looks like this from the outside:

I think it may be this: IP8M-T2499E

Well for that camera it looks like normally a Through Hole Cap would be where C7 is. That would be bottom side of that area black PCB facing the front. Also another one with same type caps yours has would be at the Bottom of the camera board where the wires come into the Black PCB however you would be able to see that button and on yours it isn't there so that leaves C7 on Green PCB side of the camera under the Black PCB could use a 90degree pick or something that could push the button might be able to see it it isn't facing back it is facing side on the front of Black PCB..

Awesome, thanks for your help. I couldn't see it until I took the PCBs out - but can now see the reset button hidden on the side. Very hard to see in the assembly, but just to the right of the C7 as you suspected.

Awesome glad you found it sorry setup to be in such a bad place. Personally if I owned it I would be changing the button so I didn't need to pull out board to reset. Even if that meant 3d printing a button that clips pcb
