Before You Begin
Before starting the reset process, there are a few important points to keep in mind:
- Resetting the DVR will erase all the settings and configurations you have made so far. Make sure to create a backup of your important data before proceeding.
- Verify the model and version of your URMET DVR. The reset process might vary slightly depending on the model you are using.
Step 1: Locate the Reset Button
The reset button is typically located on the back panel of the URMET DVR. It is usually a small hole marked “RESET.”
Step 2: Press and Hold the Reset Button
Using a pointed object, such as a paperclip or pin, press and hold the reset button for approximately 15-20 seconds. You might feel a slight click as you press the button.
Step 3: Power Cycle the DVR
Once you have held the reset button for the required time, unplug the power cable from the DVR. Leave it unplugged for about 10 seconds before plugging it back in.
Step 4: Wait for the DVR to Restart
Allow the DVR a few moments to restart. You will notice the lights on the front panel blinking during this process.
Step 5: Access the Default Settings
After restarting, the URMET DVR will be restored to its factory default settings. You can now log in using the default administrator username and password, which is often mentioned in the user manual or provided on a sticker attached to the DVR itself.
Step 6: Reconfigure Your DVR
Once you have successfully logged in, it’s time to reconfigure your URMET DVR according to your preferences. Set up your network, adjust display settings, and configure recording parameters to align with your needs.
Remember to consult the user manual or the URMET support website for detailed instructions on configuring your DVR.
Resetting your URMET DVR is a relatively straightforward process that allows you to restore your device to its default settings. Whether you encounter technical issues or simply need to start afresh, following this step-by-step guide will help you reset your URMET DVR with ease.
Note that the exact reset procedure may vary depending on the specific URMET DVR model you have. Always refer to the user manual or contact URMET support for any model-specific instructions.
