On this page I will show you how to reset the Dlink DCS-3410 Internet camera back to it's original factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is a cycle of power to the device. A reset is a way of taking all the settings and returning them all to how they were from the factory.

Warning: This reset is a big step and should not be taken lightly. Make a list of all the settings you know about that will be restored. Consider the following:

  • The reset causes the Internet camera's interface username and password to be reverted to factory defaults.
  • Any other changes you can think of need to be written down to reconfigure them later on.
