4 ways to run factory default

[1st Way: from DVR Menu]

1. If it opens menu without asking password when you click "menu", you can run factory default as below.
2. [ MENU]-[ SYSTEM ] - [ SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ] - [ FACTORY DEFAULT ] - [ LOAD ]
3. Default PW is "1234"


[2nd Way: Using USB 2.0 drive ]
- If your DVR is old D1, 960H, or 1st generation TVI DVR, the USB drive factory default won't work. Have to try the third way(Remote Controller).

1. Download the file”itx_usb_hotkey.txt” and move it to a USB 2.0 drive.(USB 3.0 driver does not work.)
USB file system should be FAT32.(Does not work on NTFS)

2. Plug the USB 2.0 drive into the DVR
3. Unplug DVR's power and plug it back.
4. If DVR beep and beep beep while booting up, factory default is successfully complete. Skip step 5.
5. If DVR makes a constant beeping (it takes about 5 min), unplug the USB drive and power recycle DVR.
Factory default is successfully complete.
6. Factory default password of old DVR is "1234”. Recent DVRs show the password setting window at factory default setting.
7. Set strong PW(Do not use default PW).
8. Change RTSP and HTTP ports to something else. ( We normally set 7999 for HTTP and 7998 for RTSP)
