How to reset or factory restore Sewon SG-2880CS device?
The Sewon SG-2880CS is a high-performance network video recorder with advanced features such as motion detection, intrusion detection, and smart search. In the event of a system failure or problem, it may be necessary to reset or factory restore the device to its default settings. This process will erase all current user settings and data, so it should only be performed as a last resort. The most common and recommended ways to reset or factory restore a Sewon SG-2880CS device are:
1. Using the device's web interface:
1. Connect the Sewon SG-2880CS recorder to your computer using an Ethernet cable.
2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the camera (default IP address is 192.168.0.100).
3. Click on the "System Administration" menu and then "Factory Reset".
4. Confirm the reset by clicking "Yes, CB" and wait for the device to boot up.
2. Using the device's USB connectivity:
1. Connect the Sewon SG-2880CS recorder to a USB drive.
2. Create a backup of the settings file (.cfg file) by copying it to your computer.
3. Format the USB drive and delete the settings file.
4. Connect the USB drive to the recorder and select "Configuration" or "System Springback" from the menu.
5. Follow the prompts to restore the device to its default settings, using the backup settings file if available.
It's important to note that the second method is generally recommended over the first method, as it allows you to retain some of your user settings and data, and it also has a lower risk of accidental deletion of important files. Additionally, it's always a good idea to make a backup of all important settings and data before resetting or factory restoring any device, to minimize the risk of data loss.
