Sure, can you access the cam through the webinterface (eg ) ? If that succeeds, go into Settings - System - Default and pick "reset default".

Okay, I’m resetting all my cameras back to factory. I have an NVR5208-8P-4KS2 is there away to reset that back to factory settings. I want to start over like I just took everything out of the box. Because I must have messed up something along the way. I’ve been trying months to get everything in sync.
I haven't updated my NVR / Cameras yet b/c if they're not broken, why fix them BUT from what I've read I believe the safest bet in your situation using that NVR might be to put the firmware on a usb stick and use a USB mouse and then use the NVR connected via hdmi to a screen (tv or monitor) and update it using the GUI from the NVR itself.
I agree to disagree: if you are still on v3 it is worthwhile upgrading to v4: the no-plugin browser firmware is a huge improvement.
Upgrading the NVR is as easy as upgrading the camera: through the webbrowser. I've read a couple of issues when people did try to upgrade with a local USB and were not successful (eg wrong filesystem / links to files / zipped and not .bin).
What do you mean by "V3" or "V4"?
Here is one of my HDW5231R-ZE info that I purchased in 2018. I need to use the NACL plugin to Chrome for accessing the web browser.
I recently purchased a T5442TM-AS and it's info is below. Nothing shows any "V4" for any of the versions, yet I use Edge for the web browser.
Is it worth updating the 5231's?
I started using windows 10 boot camp with ie everything works good my initial problems are solved but I can’t upgrade f/w on any cameras it just hangs.
By the looks of your webservice (and the WEB VERSION V3.x ;-) ) you are (still) on version 3. So yes, I'd upgrade if your camera has a v4 firmware listed on @EMPIRETECANDY profile.
How are you connecting to your camera's? Do you use vlans? Firewalls? Through Webservice or through NVR? Lots of questions! ;-)
I always use the WEB interface to the NVR, and in the camera registration page, you have a second tab: UPGRADE, through which you can upload the firmware to (selected) camera's. Works fine here.
Good luck!

Thanks catcamstar that worked perfectly. 1 question do you have to default camera (not to factory( after upgrade?
