In this guide I will be explaining how to reset the Dlink DCS-3110 Internet camera back to it's original factory defaults. It's important that you know the difference between a reset and reboot before we begin. A reboot is a way of cycling the power to the device. This is often used as a way of solving minor behavioral problems of your camera or router. A reset is taking all the settings and returning them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this camera can become problematic if you don't understand what settings have been changed by this reset. Every setting you have ever changed is returned to factory settings. Please consider the following:

  • This reset is going to erase the camera's main username and password.
  • Any other changes you have made will be erased. Write every change you have made down on a piece of paper so you can reconfigure them later.

Take the end of an unwound paperclip and press down on the reset button for a full 30 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for long enough you end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Warning: Do not unplug or turn off this device during the reset process. It could permanently damage the camera.

Remember this reset is erasing every single setting you have made to this device. If you want to try and avoid this loss you should try other troubleshooting methods before you continue.
