Evolution 05 - Performing a Factory Reset

There are three 3 ways to perform a factory reset on the Evolution 05

1. Make sure the camera is plugged in via PoE or optional power adaptor (not included). 
2. On the side of the camera module to the left of the SD card slot you will find a small hole with a black button inside.
3. Use a pen or a small object to depress and hold the black button (up to 30 seconds) until you see the LAN and PWR lights flash then release the button.
4. Once you release the button, give the camera 1-2 minutes to reset and boot up.

2 - SOFT RESET
