On this page I will show you how to reset the Dlink DCS-3415 Internet camera back to it's original factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot however. A reboot is a cycle of power to the device. A reset is taking all the settings and returning them all to factory defaults.

Warning: A reset could cause a lot of problems for you if you don't understand what settings are changed. Please consider the following before you continue:

  • The main username and password of the camera are returned to factory settings.
  • Have you made any other changes to this router? Write these changes down so you can reconfigure them later.

Take the tip of a pen or very sharp pencil and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This should start the reset process. If you don't hold this button down for long enough you will end up simply rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Warning: DO NOT turn off or unplug the camera during the reset process. It could permanently damage the device.

This will erase every single setting you have ever changed on this device. If you want to avoid this loss you should try other troubleshooting methods first.
